Issue of Shares
Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE, "Seeing Machines" or the "Group"), the advanced computer vision technology company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve transport safety, has today issued 33,062,772 ordinary shares of no par value in the Group ("New Ordinary Shares") to be held in the existing Group trust (the "Trust").
The New Ordinary Shares, which rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in Seeing Machines, will be held in the Trust until such time as the beneficiaries of the Group's Employee Benefits Plan (the "Award"), the terms of which were announced on 2 November 2017 and 15 June 2018, exercise the performance rights and options. On the exercise of such performance rights and options, the Trust will transfer the shares to the relevant beneficiary.
The abovementioned Awards span forty people within the Group and form the basis of long-term incentive plans which are used to attract and retain world class scientific, engineering and business talent.
Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to occur on 4 October 2018 ("Admission"). Following Admission, the total issued share capital of the Group will be 2,286,449,115 Ordinary Shares with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Group post Admission will be 2,286,449,115 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in Seeing Machines.
