Long Term Incentive Plan Option Scheme
The Remuneration Committee of the K3 Board ("RemCo") has today granted 1,800,000 new options to certain Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") ("LTIP Options"). These grants have been made under the terms of a new K3 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") and together amount to approximately 4.2% of the Company's current non-diluted issued share capital. All of the LTIP Options are exercisable at a price of 25p per share, being nominal value.
The LTIP Options awarded to PDMRs of the Group are as follows:
Name | LTIP Options awarded |
Adalsteinn Valdimarsson | 500,000 |
Robert Price | 300,000 |
Tom Crawford | 300,000 |
Sjoerd Starren | 175,000 |
Andrew Payne | 175,000 |
Chrissie Humphrey | 175,000 |
Carole Gilkes | 175,000 |
The LTIP Options are subject to performance conditions based on the achievement of certain 60 day Volume Weighted Average Price ('VWAP') thresholds of K3 ordinary shares measured between the third and fourth anniversary of the date of option grant. The 60 day VWAP measurement will be applied to any consecutive 60 trading days during the 12 month testing period.
The performance targets and associated vesting of the LTIP Options for each of the above PDMRs are:
· 25% vest at VWAP of 200p;
· 50% vest at VWAP of 225p; and
· 100% vest at VWAP of 250p,
with a straight line vesting between these thresholds.
Subject to meeting the above performance targets, the LTIP Options may be exercised as follows:
· 50% on or after the fourth anniversary of the date of grant
· 50% on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
The LTIP Options will remain exercisable until the seventh anniversary of the original date of grant, at which point they will lapse.
For those PDMRs who were also granted awards under the Company's 2018 LTIP scheme, it was a condition of the award of the above LTIP Options that those participants waived and released their option awards under that 2018 scheme (being a total of 1,890,000 option shares waived).
