Share Option Awards
SDI Group plc, the AIM quoted Group focused on the design and manufacture of products for use in the lab equipment, industrial & scientific sensors and the industrial & scientific products markets, announces details of the grant of share option awards on 26 September 2024 to the Company's Executive Directors. Two separate awards were granted to each Executive Director.
One award is a deferred bonus award in respect of SDI's financial year ended 30 April 2024 granted under the Company's Unapproved (2008) Share Option scheme. The other award is a performance based LTIP award granted under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan 2018 ("LTIP") (together the "Grants").
The deferred bonus awards have an exercise price per share of 1 pence and are ordinarily exercisable from three years from grant and have no performance conditions.
The LTIP awards have an exercise price per share of 1 pence and are ordinarily exercisable three year from grant to the extent that performance conditions measured over a 3-year performance period are met. The LTIP awards are also subject to net of tax post vesting holding period to be determined by the Remuneration Committee and are subject to claw back and malus provisions. The performance conditions for the awards are linked to the Company's growth in EPS and total shareholder return.
