The Options have an exercise price of 20.2 pence per share. The Options will vest 25% upon the one year anniversary of grant, with the remainder vesting in 12 equal tranches quarterly over the following three years. Once vested, the options will be exercisable until 16 June 2030.
The Options granted represent 3.6 per cent. of the issued share capital.
In addition to the Options, in order to incentivise and retain certain employees during the ongoing Strategic Review, the Remuneration Committee has agreed that a cash bonus would become payable upon the successful sale of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all the assets of Midatech, or upon the solvent winding up of the Company, based on the value of such exit event.
