Bowleven plc ("Bowleven" or "the Company")
Director's Interests
Bowleven announces that, on 19 June 2017, a total of 480,000 ordinary shares of £0.10 each in the Company ("Shares") vested in favour of David Clarkson, Chief Operating Officer ("the Director") under the terms of Bowleven's 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan ("the Plan"). This vesting related to an award that was granted to him under the Plan on 4 December 2013 ("the Award"). As announced on 21 December 2016, the vesting of the Award (which was originally subject to a performance target measured over the three years from grant) was deferred and made subject to the satisfaction of an additional condition over the period ending on 4 June 2017. Following the expiry of this period, it was determined that the Award vested in full.
The vesting of the Award has been satisfied by the transfer of Shares to the Director by the trustee of the Company's Employee Benefit Trust. The Director subsequently instructed to sell only such number of the Shares as was necessary to account for tax payable on the vesting of the Award. Following the vesting and sale, the beneficial interests of the Director in the Shares of the Company are set out below.
Director | Previous Shareholding | Current Shareholding | % issued share capital (excl. treasury shares) |
David Clarkson | 379,753 | 664,695 | 0.20 |
