New LTIP and option grant

21 Dec 2017 07:00

RNS Number : 9978Z
Biome Technologies PLC
21 December 2017

The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 ("MAR")

21 December 2017

Biome Technologies plc

("Biome", "the Company" or "the Group")

New Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2017 LTIP") and Notification of awards under the 2017 LTIP

Notification of transactions by directors/persons discharging managerial responsibilities

The Company announces that it has set up a new long-term incentive plan for its employees to replace the expired 2014 EMI Share Option Plan. This plan is intended to align Biome's shareholder and management interests over the next four years and to the maximum extent possible these have been issued as Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) options.

The Company further announces that on 20 December 2017,聽the Company granted the following share options under the 2017 LTIP:

Name of Individual

Maximum number of shares under option

Exercise price per share

Paul Mines (Director)

148,150

Declan Brown (Director)

69,136

215 pence

Other Employees

88,890

215 pence

Total

306,176

The total number of share options available to vest are restricted by criteria of both time and performance allowing for the creation of a "value pool" that may become available to participants.

The time criterion restricts the value pool as per the following vesting profile:

10 December 2018 40% of the value pool

10 June 2019 50% of the value pool (less any amounts awarded under previous vestings)

10 December 2019 60% of the value pool (less any amounts awarded under previous vestings)

10 June 2020 70% of the value pool (less any amounts awarded under previous vestings)

10 December 2020 80% of the value pool (less any amounts awarded under previous vestings)

10 June 2021 90% of the value pool (less any amounts awarded under previous vestings)

10 December 2021 100% of the value pool (less any amounts awarded under previous vestings)

The performance criterion is designed to reward sustainable increases in the share price and is calculated as follows.

The total number of ordinary shares in respect of which options may be exercised will be determined by reference to the market value of the Group's shares on the vesting dates listed above. If the Company's average closing share price, taken over a 56 day period commencing 63 days before the relevant vesting date, exceeds 250p a value pool equal to a percentage of the Company's actual market capitalisation in excess of the market capitalisation as of 19 December 2017 based on a closing share price of 215p price will be created using the following mechanism:

above 215p (up to and including 250p) the value pool percentage will be 13.2%

above 250p (up to and including 500p) the additional value pool percentage will be 14.9%

above 500p (up to and including 700p) the additional value pool percentage will be 19.9%

above 700p (up to and including 800p) the additional value pool percentage will be 16.6%

above 800p the additional value pool percentage will be 9.9%

95% of this value pool will be used to derive the proportion of share options that vest for each 2017 LTIP plan participant, subject to the individual maximums described above.

By way of example, assuming a 56 day average closing share price, as described above, before the first and second vesting dates of 400p, this would have resulted in an increase in the market capitalisation of the Company of 拢4,342,942 over a market capitalisation based on the 215p share price. Under this scenario the number of share options capable of exercise would be as follows:

First vesting

o The LTIP value pool would be 拢633,130, being the sum of (i) the increase in market capitalisation of the Company from 拢2.15 per share to 拢2.50 per share at a valuation pool percentage of 13.2% giving a value of 拢108,456; and (ii) the increase in market capitalisation of the Company from 拢2.50 per share to 拢4.00 per share at a valuation pool percentage of 14.9% giving a value of 拢524,674.

o 95% of this value pool is used to derive the value to be distributed to the participants, in this example 拢601,473.

o On the first vesting date, the value of share options which are capable of vesting is 40% of this figure, which in this example is 拢240,589.

o The number of shares options capable of vesting is 130,048, being 拢240,589 divided by 拢1.85 (the 拢4.00 per share market value assumed in this example, less the 拢2.15 per share exercise price).

Second vesting

o The value pool as per the above is 拢633,130.

o 95% of this value pool is used to derive the value to be distributed to the participants, in this example 拢601,473.

o On the second vesting date, the value of share options which are capable of vesting is 50% of this figure, which in this example is 拢300,736.

o The number of share options capable of vesting is 162,560, being 拢300,736 divided by 拢1.85 (the 拢4.00 per share market value assumed in this example, less the 拢2.15 per share exercise price).

o The number of shares previously vested, in this example 130,048 shares, is then deducted from the number of shares capable of vesting, being 162,560, to give 32,512 shares options capable of vesting on the second vesting date

All vested share options must be exercised by 19 December 2022 under the rules of the plan.

In addition, on 20 December 2017 the Company granted an award to John Standen, non-executive Chairman, subject to the 2017 LTIP performance conditions described above. If these performance conditions are met, John Standen will be paid a cash sum equal to 5% of the value pool created on the same basis that value can be made available under the 2017 LTIP. This award may, if the board of directors of the Company see fit, be settled in shares instead of cash. This award replaces the award made on 6 May 2014 which has expired.

The FCA notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation is appended below and gives further details on the option grants for directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs).
