For immediate release 30 March 2011

 

STATPRO GROUP PLC

("StatPro" or the "Group")

 

Directors' dealings

Exercise and Net settlement of Share Options

 

Grant of options

StatPro Group plc (AIM:SOG), the AIM listed provider of portfolio analytics and data solutions for the global asset management industry, today announces the grant of share options over a total of 600,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to directors and senior employees in the Group.

 

The options are exercisable at 130p per share being a premium of 10% over the closing mid-market share price of 118p per Ordinary Share on 29 March 2011. Exercise of the options is conditional upon the satisfaction of performance conditions. The options will not be exercisable unless the share price equals or exceeds 145p per share for a period of at least twenty consecutive trading days and specified targets of growth in earnings per share are met. The share options are exercisable at any time between 29 March 2014 and 29 March 2018 being a period of between three years and seven years from the date of grant, subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions.

 

The grants of options include grants to StatPro's executive directors over the following numbers of shares:

 

Justin Wheatley, Chief Executive 35,000

Andrew Fabian, Finance Director 35,000

 

Exercise and Net settlement of Share Options

Following the receipt by the Company of applications relating to the exercise of options over 140,583 shares at exercise prices of 60p or 61p under Company share option schemes, the Company has opted to net settle 74,500 options by cash settlement in order to reduce the impact of dilution. The net settlement value was determined by the Board as 118p per ordinary share. As a result, cash amounting to a total of approximately £43,000 including option tax liability has been paid and 66,083 shares have been issued. Application has been made for the admission to AIM of 66,083 new Ordinary Shares. It is expected that dealings will commence on 5 April 2011. These shares will rank pari passu with the Group's existing issued Ordinary Shares.

 

Within this total, Andrew Fabian, Finance Director, exercised on 29 March 2011 35,000 options at 60p per share and subsequently sold 35,000 shares today at 116.4p per share from his SIPP resulting in no beneficial change to his holdings.

 

Other director dealings

The Company was informed today that on 29 March 2011 Mark Adorian, Non-Executive Director, purchased 120,000 Ordinary Shares and his wife sold 120,000 Ordinary Shares at 118p per share resulting in no beneficial change to his holdings.

 

The Company was informed today that Charles Fairbairn, Non-Executive Director, purchased 24,400 Ordinary Shares today in his SIPP at 117.5p per share and sold today 24,400 Ordinary Shares in his own name at 117.5p per share resulting in no beneficial change to his holdings.

 

Following these allocations and transactions Justin Wheatley is interested in 7,159,367 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 11.78% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital and options over 1,170,000 Ordinary Shares. Andrew Fabian is interested in 207,795 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 0.34% of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital and options over 182,000 Ordinary Shares. Mark Adorian is interested in 2,520,698 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 4.15% of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital. Charles Fairbairn is interested in 779,834 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 1.28% of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital.

 

Voting rights

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 60,793,315 Ordinary Shares with voting rights and the Company holds 225,000 shares in treasury. This figure of 60,793,315 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
