RM2 International S.A.
("RM2" or the "Company")
Award of Restricted Shares and Options to New CEO and management
RM2 International S.A., the sustainable composite pallet innovator, announces the award of restricted ordinary shares of USD0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares") to its executive directors and options over its Ordinary Shares under its 2013 Stock Option and Incentive Plan to its new CEO on July 6, 2017. The options have an exercise price of 13.8p, being the volume weighted average mid-market closing share price over the five trading days from 29 June to 5 July 2017 inclusive (the "Options"). The Options will vest and the restricted shares will become freely tradeable on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of their grant date or (ii) the change of control or takeover of the Company by a third-party. The Options will not be exercisable and the restricted Ordinary Shares will be restricted from sale until such time as the volume-weighted average quoted share price equals or exceeds for thirty days the lower of (i) 50p or (ii) 2.5 times the offering price of an Ordinary Share placement (the "Vesting Conditions"). A further 2,000,000 restricted Ordinary Shares with the same Vesting Conditions were awarded to a key employee.
The number of equity awards for the Executive Directors are set out below:
Name of Executive Director | Award | |
| Restricted Shares | Options |
Jasper Judd, CEO | 2,500,000 | 10,000,000 |
Jeff Blouvac, CFO | 1,500,000 |
|
Separately, 19,000 restricted Ordinary Shares issued under the 2013 Stock Option and Incentive Plan were forfeited following the departure of an employee, which will now be held as non-voting treasury stock.
Admission to trading
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the admission to trading on AIM of the 6,000,000 newly issued restricted Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue (the "Restricted Shares"). Admission of the Restricted Shares is expected to become effective on 17 July 2017 ("Admission").
Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will be composed of 407,062,656 Ordinary Shares and 88,499,998 Convertible Preferred Shares of US$0.01 each in the capital of the Company, of which 416,334 Ordinary Shares are held by the Company as non-voting treasury stock. The total number of voting rights in the Company is 495,146,320. This figure of 495,146,320 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
The Ordinary Shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.
