Grant of Options
&
Long Term Incentive Plan Awards
5 September 2018 - The Board of Craneware plc (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle solutions for the US healthcare market, announces that on 5 September 2018, share options (the "Options") to acquire ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Shares") were granted to two of the Company's Directors as set out below. The Options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Craneware plc Unapproved Share Option Plan (2016) (the "Option Plan").
Director | Aggregate no. of Shares over which Options granted under the Option Plan | Percentage of issued share capital |
Keith Neilson (CEO) | 5,848 | 0.02% |
Craig Preston (CFO) | 4,334 | 0.02% |
The above Options have been granted at an exercise price of 2710p per Share (being the closing market price on 4 September 2018). The Options will ordinarily become exercisable from the third anniversary of grant, subject to (i) the satisfaction of certain performance conditions based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the performance achieved by the constituent companies within the FTSE AIM 100 Index and (ii) the Director's continued employment. These performance conditions are measured in three tranches such that one third of the Shares over which the Options subsist will vest based on performance over the three years ending on 30 June 2019, one third based on performance over the three years ending 30 June 2020 and the final third based on performance over the three years to 30 June 2021 - an aggregate five year period. Any tranche (or part thereof) that does not meet the performance criteria will lapse and not be re-tested in later years.
The Company further announces that on 5 September 2018, under the terms of the Craneware plc Long Term Incentive Plan (2016) ("LTIP"), a conditional award of Shares was granted to two Directors of the Company as follows:
Director | No. of Shares over which a conditional share award was granted | Percentage of issued share capital |
Keith Neilson (CEO) | 5,848 | 0.02% |
Craig Preston (CFO) | 4,334 | 0.02% |
There was no consideration for the grant of the LTIP awards and no consideration will be payable by the award holders to receive the Shares from these LTIP awards, if and to the extent that they vest. The awards will ordinarily vest after three years subject to (i) the satisfaction of TSR performance conditions that are substantively the same as those described above in relation to the Options and (ii) the Director's continued employment.
