Share Option Award:
IXICO plc (AIM: IXI), the medical imaging advanced analytics company delivering insights in neurosciences, today announces that it has issued a total of 850,000 options to subscribe for ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company (the "Share Options") to Mark Austin, Chief Technology Officer, James Chandler, Chief Business Officer and Terry Reilly, VP Global Business Development. Mark Austin and James Chandler are considered Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility under the Market Abuse Regulation (PDMRs) of the Company.
The Share Options have vesting criteria aligned with retention and annual share price growth over 3 years. The options have an exercise price equivalent to the closing share price on the date of award except for those awarded to PDMRs which have an exercise price of £0.01. All options will be subject to a hold period to the third anniversary of their award.
The achievement of share price growth each year shall be measured by calculating the 3-month average share price immediately prior to each anniversary of the option award. The growth performance can be met in full by an absolute annual compound share price growth of 40% over the three-year period or in part by a 40% share price growth as compared to the prior year. In the first year this shall be compared to a baseline price equivalent to the three-month average share price immediately prior to 1 June 2025.
Director Bed & ISA Dealings:
In addition, the Company announces that it received notification on 12 June 2025, that Grant Nash, CFO/COO and PDMR, sold 45,263 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company and repurchased 45,263 ordinary shares into Mr Nash's ISA account.
