Miles Pelham, Chairman of Obtala comments:
"The further issue of performance based incentivisation to management underlines our commitment to appropriate and adequate incentivisation of employees which aligns interests with all stakeholders. As we work through this period of rapid production expansion it is essential motivation levels are high and operational/execution risk is overseen diligently.
Following this grant we now have 22m share options outstanding compared with 21m following last June's awards. The narrow difference is due to 6m share options being forfeit by leavers."
