Grant of Deferred Share Awards
In line with best practice corporate governance for AIM companies, Chariot aims to remunerate its Executive Team by aligning their interests with those of its Shareholders.

Subject to continued employment, these share awards will vest on 1 January 2020 and will remain exercisable until 12 April 2027.

Larry Bottomley | Chief Executive Officer | 1,825,000 |

The number of shares subject to each deferred bonus share award was calculated based on the average share price during 2016.
