Unapproved Share Option Scheme - Vesting of Option Awards
Time Finance plc, the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, announces the vesting of an ag-gregate of 611,666 historically awarded share options following the achievement of profit-based performance criteria in relation to the Company's 2022 Unapproved Share Option Scheme (the "2022 Scheme").
The terms of the 2022 Scheme were previously announced by the Group on 22 July 2022. It remains the Board's strong intention that existing ordinary shares held by the Company's Employee Benefit Trust will be utilised to meet any future exercise of these vested options and also of any further 2022 Scheme options that could vest in the future. The vested options are all held by the below Directors/PDMRs of the Company in the amounts below and may be exercised at nil-cost at any time prior to the exercise expiry date.
Name | Position | Number of Vested Options | Exercise Expiry |
Ed Rimmer | CEO | 411,667 | 30 September 2028 |
Steve Nichols | PDMR | 100,000 | 30 September 2028 |
Sharon Bryden | PDMR | 100,000 | 30 September 2028 |
There remain a further unvested 611,667 share options previously granted under the 2022 Scheme. Sub-ject to the recipients' continued employment with the Group and the achievement of stretching profit targets for the current financial year, the remaining unvested 2022 Scheme options would vest in October 2025.
The notifications below, provided in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regula-tion, provide further details.
