Director or PDMR | Number of New Ordinary Shares subscribed for | Value of New Ordinary Shares subscribed for | Number of Ordinary Shares held on Admission | % Share Capital held on Admission | Number of Warrants held on Admission
|
Bolhassan Di | 4,166,667 | £25,000 | 20,801,287 | 1.89% | 2,083,333 |
Gerard Murray | 1,250,000 | £7,500 | 1,350,000 | 0.12% | 625,000 |
John Forrest | 1,250,000 | £7,500 | 1,750,000 | 0.16% | 625,000 |
Prof. A Hurst | 833,333 | £5,000 | 833,333 | 0.08% | 416,667 |
TOTAL | 7,500,000 | 45,000 | 24,734,620 | 2.25% | 3,750,000 |
As part of the Management Subscription the Company will also issue warrants on the same terms as the fundraise notification ("the Fundraise") announced on 20 February 2023 this being issue of one warrant over an Ordinary Share for every two Ordinary Shares issued in the Management Subscription. These warrants will be exercisable at a price of 1.20p ("Warrant Price") for a period of two years from grant. Ordinary Shares and warrants issued in respect of the Management Subscription will be issued alongside shares and warrants from the Fundraise which raised gross proceeds of £1,698,000 (comprising 83,333,333 placing shares, 199,666,667 subscription shares and 141,500,000 warrants). The Company will therefore issue a total of 290,500,000 shares ("Admission Shares") and 150,250,000 warrants on Admission.
As referenced in the Company's recent prospectus, the Company has created a 10% share option incentive plan over the Company's issued share capital on Admission and granted options over 110,000,000 ordinary shares to certain Directors and senior managers of the Company as detailed below. These share options do not vest until the share price has reached 2p.
