Sharesave Option Grants / PDMR Dealings
In October 2017 Frontier Developments plc (the "Company") established an all-staff Sharesave equity plan (the "Plan"), which Directors are also entitled to participate in. The Plan is approved by HMRC and consists of a three year savings contract linked to a share option grant. The four Executive Directors have all committed to the Plan and, as a result, options over 1,890 ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") with an exercise price of 952 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Options") were granted to each Executive Director on 6 October 2017. The Options are due to vest on 1 November 2020, after which they must be exercised within 6 months.
Following these grants, the number of Ordinary Shares held under option by each of the Executive Directors is as follows:
Name of Director | Position | Number of Options granted on 6 October 2017 | Total Number of Options held |
David Braben | Chief Executive Officer | 1,890 | 309,279 |
