Director/PDMR Dealing
Collagen Solutions plc (AIM: COS), the developer and manufacturer of biomaterials and regenerative medicines for the enhancement and extension of human life, announces that, on 2 October 2019, it granted awards ("Awards") over ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Shares") to the executive directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") set out in the table below pursuant to the terms of its newly adopted deferred bonus plan (the "DBP").
The DBP enables the Company to deliver some or all of an executive's annual bonus entitlement in the form of a right to acquire Shares, the vesting of which is normally conditional on continued employment over a specified period. No additional performance conditions have to be satisfied in order for Awards to vest.
The Awards listed in the table below relate to the bonuses earned by the relevant individuals in respect of the Company's financial year that ended on 31 March 2019. The number of Shares over which they have been granted was calculated by reference to a price per Share of 5.0p (being the price payable by investors under the Company's fundraising that completed in June 2019).
Director/PDMR | Position | Number of Shares over which Awards granted on 2 October 2019 |
Jamal Rushdy1 | Chief Executive Officer | 906,145 |
Lou Ruggiero1 | Chief Business Officer | 806,559 |
Hilary Spence2 | Chief Financial Officer | 336,000 |

Chris Wattengel1 | PDMR / VP Global R&D | 246,514 |
Kevin Darling2 | PDMR / VP Tissue Products | 173,596 |
Notes:
1 This individual's Award has been granted as a "conditional share award" in terms of which the relevant Shares will automatically be released to him/her, for no consideration, on vesting.
2 This individual's Award has been structured as a "nil cost option" which has an exercise period of ten years from grant.
Each of the above Awards will normally vest on 9 July 2020 and it is anticipated that any Shares to which the individuals become entitled will be delivered by the Company's recently established employee benefit trust.
