Intercede Group plc
("Intercede" or the "Company")
Amendment to LTIP
Following the successful early retirement of the Company's Loan Notes announced on 4 and 16 February 2021, Intercede's Remuneration Committee has determined the following amendments to the existing Intercede Group plc Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), as previously announced on 22 October 2018:
Revised Performance Criteria
· Tranche 1 has been achieved (previously subject to the achievement of an average share price of 69p for a period of 30 consecutive trading days up to and ending 19 October 2021); and
· Tranches 2 and 3 will now be triggered subject to the achievement of an average share price of 69p and 119p respectively for a period of 30 consecutive trading days up to and ending 19 October 2021 (previously 119p and 169p respectively).
Dependent on the Performance Criteria above being achieved, the number of Options that will vest and become exercisable at an exercise price of 27p (being the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on 18 October 2018, when the LTIP was implemented) from 19 October 2021 to 18 October 2028 is as follows:
Director | Tranche 1 | Tranche 2 | Tranche 3 |
Klaas van der Leest | 500,000 Options | 250,000 Options | 250,000 Options |
Andrew Walker | 350,000 Options | 150,000 Options | 150,000 Options |
Chuck Pol, Remuneration Committee Chairman, said:
"The LTIP was put in place following the appointment of Klaas van der Leest on 10 April 2018 to incentivise the management team to deliver a performance that would enable the Company to address its Convertible Loan Notes totalling £5.0m when they matured on 29 December 2021.
The successful execution of a turnaround plan has enabled Intercede to return to profit and to increase gross cash balances from £2.3m as at 31 March 2018 to £8.1m as at 30 September 2020 during a time when trading conditions have not been favourable.
The Remuneration Committee considers the early retirement of the Loan Notes to represent a significant achievement, particularly given that 12 out of 13 loan note holders elected to convert their Loan Notes into shares."
