Futura Medical plc
("Futura" or "the Company")
Directors' Long Term Incentive Scheme Share Award
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), the pharmaceutical group that develops innovative products for consumer healthcare, announces that pursuant to the achievement of the milestone award of the CE mark on 8 August 2011 and the announcement made on 18 August 2011 the following option unit awards have today been issued and realised according to the terms of the Futura Medical plc Long Term Incentive Scheme.
The gross awards in terms of option units are: William Potter 150,000; James Barder 150,000; David Davies 150,000; and Derek Martin 100,000.
The Remuneration Committee exercised its right to satisfy the realisation of the option units in the form of new ordinary shares to be fully subscribed for and this has been based on the Company's closing share price of 73.50p on 8 August 2011, being the date of the announcement of the grant of the CE mark. The value of each unit will be the difference between the closing share price at the date of the announcement of the grant of the CE mark and the base price which has been set at nil.
The individual numbers of new ordinary shares issued reflect the recipient's pension contribution and tax status, and are as follows: William Potter 76,326; James Barder 142,618; David Davies 98,734; and Derek Martin 100,000.
The total number of 417,678 new ordinary shares issued will rank pari passu with existing ordinary shares and are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on 3 October 2011.
Following the transactions the beneficial and non-beneficial holdings in ordinary shares in the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies will be:
Director | Ordinary shares | Percentage of the Company's issued share capital |
William Potter | 207,424 | 0.28% |
James Barder | 870,330 | 1.19% |
David Davies | 631,306 | 0.86% |
Derek Martin | 225,000 | 0.31% |
For the purposes of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's total issued share capital at the date of this announcement is 73,078,391 ordinary shares of 0.2p each, with one voting right per share. There are no shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 73,078,391.
The above figure of 73,078,391 shares may be used by shareholders as a denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Company, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Further details of the Long Term Incentive Scheme are set out on the Company's website.
