Grant of Buyout Awards - Caroline Waddington

Caroline Waddington was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors as Chief Financial Officer on 16 September 2024.

 

On 10 December 2024, Caroline was granted the following nil-cost options over, in aggregate, 103,140 Ordinary Shares of 15 pence each (a "Share") under an arrangement to which Listing Rule 9.3.2 (2) applies in respect of the buy-out of share awards that Caroline forfeited on leaving her previous employment. The number of Shares awarded has been calculated using a market price of £7.128 per Share, being the average of the quoted closing prices of a Share for the five (5) dealing days immediately prior to 16 September 2024.

 

The nil-cost options will vest in tranches on the vesting dates shown in the table below, subject to the achievement of performance conditions where the nil-cost option has been granted to replace an award from Caroline's previous employer which was subject to performance conditions and to her continued employment. Following vesting, Caroline will have a period of three years within which she may exercise the relevant nil-cost option.

 

Dividend equivalents apply to certain of the nil-cost options, and which may result in the delivery of additional Shares (or cash) to Caroline when the relevant nil-cost option is exercised.

 

Post-vesting holding periods will apply to any nil-cost options which have been granted to replace awards from Caroline's previous employer which were subject to post-vesting holding periods.  The post-vesting periods will end on the same date as they would have ended for the original award granted by Caroline's previous employer.

 

Appropriate malus and clawback provisions will apply to the nil-cost options.
