PuriCore Value Creation Plan Update

PuriCore (LSE: PURI), a global company focused on safely and effectively protecting people from the spread of infectious pathogens, today announces that on 26 September 2013, the Company awarded performance units in accordance with the PuriCore 2013 Value Creation Plan (VCP) to Executive Directors and other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMRs) listed below.

Full details of the VCP were set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Letter from the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee published on 24 May 2013. On 19 June 2013, the Company announced that following consultation with shareholders, two modifications were made to the VCP related to the calculation of the Base Price and the implementation of a cap on awards. The amended VCP was approved by PuriCore shareholders at the Company's AGM on 26 June 2013. These documents are all available on the Company's website, www.puricore.com. 

Consistent with the VCP provisions, the following Executive Directors and PDMRs have been granted an award of performance units. Furthermore, a Base Price of 40.4p has now been calculated in accordance with the VCP. Performance units are not equity awards. Rather, they create the opportunity for future conditional share awards, the number of which, if any, would be calculated at the time of vesting based upon the achievement of performance criteria, including a minimum level of shareholder return, at the respective measurement dates. No payment has been made for the grant of these awards.
