These shares will be subject to a soft lock-in arrangement for 12 months in order to preserve an orderly market.

 

In addition, Motive has also agreed to pay to Mr Vanyi-Robin earn-out commissions as set out in the SPA dated 17 September 2010, totalling £41,583.62 for the years 2011 and 2012, to be satisfied by the issue of new shares (subject to a soft lock-in as above) or in cash at the Company's discretion upon the Consent Order being approved and sealed by the Court. Thereafter to be satisfied in cash as they fall due.

The Executive Chairman of Motive, Michael Pilsworth, said:

 

"I am glad that this matter has been settled between the parties and wish Mr Vanyi-Robin every success in his next business venture."
