RNS Number : 4662D Tekmar Group PLC 07 May 2026
Tekmar Group plc
("Tekmar", the "Company" or the "Group")
Grant of Share Options
Tekmar Group plc (AIM: TGP), a leading provider of asset protection technology
and offshore energy services, announces that the Group has established a share
option plan which has granted share options on 6 May 2026 (the "May 2026
Plan", the "Plan") to certain directors of the Group ("Directors") and other
Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") employees.
Background to and Key Terms of the Share Option Plan
Steve Lockard has been a non-executive director of Tekmar since April 2023,
joining the Board at the time of SCF Partners' investment in the Group, where
Steve was a co-investor. Steve subsequently assumed the role of Chair in June
2024. Steve brings a wealth of experience in the offshore energy sector and
brings valuable insight to the Group's value creation and platform building
strategy, both organically and through M&A.
To reflect Steve's significant Board level contribution, and to align his
involvement with the interests of the Company's shareholders, Steve has been
granted 1,500,000 share options under the Plan with the following conditions:
- 500,000 share options at an exercise price of 1.00p exercisable
from date of grant;
- 500,000 share options at an exercise price of 5.00p exercisable
from date of grant; and
- 500,000 share options at an exercise price of 5.00p exercisable
after the share price has exceeded 19.99p.
The share options under the Plan (the "New Share Options") represent 1,500,000
shares in aggregate, equivalent to 1.07% of the Company's current issued share
capital of 139,551,387. Total ordinary shares under option (including the New
Share Options and those Share Options announced earlier on 7 May 2026)
represent 8.2% of the Company's current issued share capital.
The relevant Director / PDMR Notification is set out further below.
