RE: Total number of shares issued or potentially so, soon17 Aug 2020 17:52
From the last Agm,
"Resolution 3 had proposed the expansion of the Company's available pool of employee options for future allocation at the discretion of the Board. Those employee options had been proposed with performance hurdles linked to delivery of value-creating business objectives, an exercise price in excess of the current share price, and a resultant aggregate employee share pool of less than 8.5% of the Company's fully diluted share capital. In the Board's view, this thus constituted an entirely normal employee option proposal, designed to align the interests of employees with shareholders, and comparable to arrangements in place at many similar companies. It is for this reason that the Board had unanimously recommended Resolution 3 to shareholders. Acknowledging the lack of shareholder support for this resolution at this time, the Company will seek to develop alternative incentivisation strategies, so as assist in ongoing processes to recruit, incentivise and retain high-quality employees."
At the agm they did not have shareholder approval to issue more options at a premium to current share price.
So how have they today issued 80million plus shares at below market price?
