Director Dealing
Malvern International plc (AIM: MLVN), the global learning and skills development partner, announces that, pursuant to the announcement of a Fundraising this morning, it has today, conditional on completion of the Fundraising, granted options to subscribe for 65,000,000 New Ordinary Shares exercisable at a price of 0.15p subject to performance conditions.
The options are exercisable after the third anniversary of Admission subject to certain performance conditions. Of the options awarded, 50 per cent. are exercisable subject to the Company's share price reaching 1.51 pence over 40 consecutive business days. The remaining 50 per cent. are exercisable subject to the Company's share price reaching 2.62 pence for over 40 consecutive business days.
Of the options awarded 32,000,000 have been granted to Sam Malafeh, Chief Executive Officer.
The grant of options to Mr Malafeh as a Director of the Company constitutes a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The independent Directors (being Mark Elliott and Alan Carroll) consider, having consulted with WH Ireland, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of grant of the options to Mr Malafeh are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of Malvern are concerned.
