RE: Share scheme26 Oct 2017 17:43
So my understanding is that the company will post an expense item at the time the granting of options takes effect.
This will be based on the fair value of all the share options granted.
So as I see it as the share price is below 1.5p, there will be expense in the P&L account.
If at the year end the share price is 1.6p, then an expense item of 0.1p per share will put through as an expense for all open share options.
If the company purchases shares for the EBT they will be shown as "own shares" but not included in the shareholders funds.
As I see it the company will probably purchase shares if the share price does or looks like going above 1.5p.
This will then be deducted from the expense.
That is my understanding, feel free to comment or disagree.
