Awards of share options
Filta Group Holdings plc (AIM: FLTA), a leading provider of fryer management, grease management solutions and other services to commercial kitchens, announces that share options have been granted to certain person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") and employees under the Company's existing Share Option Scheme (being the 2017 Filta Group Holdings EMI Scheme). Furthermore, the Company has granted employees stock appreciation rights ("SARs") under the Company's existing SAR Plan (being the 2017 Filta Group Inc Stock Appreciation Rights Plan).
The options have an exercise price of 146 pence per share and will vest over a period of 4 years from 2021 to 2024, subject to the satisfaction of both time and certain performance conditions relating to annual profit growth over defined targets. The options are exercisable any time after vesting for a period of 10 years from 18 November 2019. The Company has a total of 1,340,000 options over ordinary shares outstanding, representing approximately 4.61% of the Company's current issued share capital. The total consists of 25,000 vested and 1,315,000 unvested options.
The Company has granted options to the following PDMRs:
PDMR | No of options |
Julie Sutton | 45,000 |

Under the 2017 Filta Group Inc Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, the SARs are structured as conditional cash bonuses whose value will be calculated by reference to the amount by which the price of the Company's ordinary shares has risen above the base price of 146 pence at the date of exercise. The vesting period and conditions for the SARs scheme are identical to those for the 2017 Filta Group Holdings EMI Scheme. The Company has a total of 600,000 SARs outstanding of which 87,500 have vested and 512,500 remain unvested.
