During his employment, the FD received 1.56m shares in options of which 500K have now expired (he exercised nearly all of them). Of the balance, the exercise prices are 56.5p, 61.5p, 71.5p, and 30p. Since options only vest if one is in employment, he may have had to walk away from these. You only walk away if do not think it is going to work, fear of another delay/placing, or if you asked to get on your bike.
He also held 280,000 ordinary shares.
There was also a sale by a PDMR in January when the price was a lot lower. Is there a morale issue down there?
