AIREA PLC
("the Company")
Director/PDMR Shareholding
The Company announces that Neil Rylance, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has today sold 2,510,630 ordinary 25p shares in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') at a price of 72 pence per share to the recently created Airea Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT').
As a result of this transaction Neil Rylance no longer has a beneficial interest in the issued share capital of the Company.
Martin Toogood, Non-Executive Chairman, said:
"The Company's employee benefit trust is now in a position where it can begin to make performance-based share awards to our employees. The awards, which will vest over a three to five year period, are key to employee retention and ensuring that appropriate incentives are in place to drive long-term value creation in a highly competitive market environment.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Neil Rylance, built up his personal shareholding in the Company a number of years ago and, as part of this sale to the EBT, intends to continue to lead the company in this next important phase of its development".
