("Smarttech247", the "Group" or the "Company")
Grant of Options
Smarttech247, a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services providing automated managed detection and response for a portfolio of international clients, announces that it has approved the grant of options over a total of 206,504 ordinary shares in the Company to employees. The options have an exercise price of 29.66 pence, being the fundraising price at the time of the Company's admission to trading on AIM on 15 December 2022.
The options have been granted pursuant to the Company's long term incentive plan ("LTIP"), details of which are set out in the Company's Admission Document dated 30 November 2022. In particular, the Company has already established and issued shares to an Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") and it is intended that shares subsequently issued as a result of the exercise of options will come from the EBT thereby avoiding any dilution to the Company's existing shareholders.
None of the options vest earlier than the first anniversary of the date of the grant.
