Executive Director Share Dealings:
Acquisition of the Company by Bravo Bidco Limited (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Boston Scientific Corporation) by way of scheme of arrangement (the Scheme of Arrangement) - vesting and exercise of share awards held by PDMRs
On the Court's sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement, as announced on 15 August 2019 (RNS Number: 2221J), all outstanding share awards over BTG ordinary shares (Shares) vested and became exercisable. The awards held by the PDMRs listed below vested and were exercised effective immediately on Court sanction, and the Shares to which each PDMR became entitled will be acquired under the Scheme of Arrangement, along with all other Shares in issue, on the effective date of the Scheme of Arrangement on 19 August 2019.
Louise Makin held awards which vested or were exercised in respect of an aggregate of 1,285,168 Shares under the BTG Sharesave Scheme, the BTG Performance Share Scheme, the BTG Executive Option Plan Scheme, and the BTG Deferred Share Bonus Scheme.
Duncan Kennedy held awards which vested or were exercised in respect of an aggregate of 268,901 Shares under the BTG Sharesave Scheme, the BTG Performance Share Scheme, and the BTG Deferred Share Bonus Scheme.
As set out in the Scheme of Arrangement, the effect of the Scheme of Arrangement on the interests of BTG Directors does not differ from its effect on the interests of any other shareholder.
On 19 August 2019, following the acquisition by Bravo Bidco Limited of all Shares in the Company in issue, Louise Makin and Duncan Kennedy will hold no Shares in the Company.
