Aeorema Communications plc ('Aeorema' or the 'Company')
Grant of options
Aeorema Communications plc, the AIM-traded live events agency,
announces the grant of options ("Options") over new ordinary shares
of 12.5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
A total of 900,000 Options have been granted, in aggregate, to
Steve Quah (Chief Executive Officer), Andrew Harvey (Managing
Director) and Hannah Luffman (Strategy Director, a non-Board role),
details of which are set out below, under the Company's EMI share
option scheme.
Name Number of Options Resulting number of
granted Ordinary Shares under
option
Steve Quah 300,000 900,000
Andrew Harvey 300,000 600,000
Hannah Luffman 300,000 300,000
Each of the Options are exercisable as to:
-- 100,000 Options at 31 pence per Ordinary Share;
-- 100,000 Options at 50 pence per Ordinary Share; and
-- 100,000 Options at 70 pence per Ordinary Share.
The exercise prices represent the following premiums to the
average closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share in the thirty
days to 29 April 2021
-- 31p exercise price = 5 per cent. premium
-- 50p exercise price = 69 per cent. premium
-- 70p exercise price = 137 per cent. premium
The Options will vest on 5 November 2023 and can be exercised
from the date of vesting until 5:00 p.m. on the business day before
the 10(th) anniversary of the date of grant, being 29 April 2021.
The Options granted represent 10 per cent of the Company's current
issued share capital. In total 1,920,000 options over Ordinary
Shares are now outstanding, representing 21 per cent of the
Company's current issued share capital.
The Company is focussed on growth both organically and by
selective acquisitions of businesses, teams and talent. The
Directors believe that options represent an important incentive to
attract, motivate and retain high quality staff. Accordingly, the
Company intends to grant up to 400,000 additional Options at
appropriate junctures in the future. If all these Options are
granted and no existing Options are cancelled or exercised, the
Company would have a total of 2,320,000 Options outstanding,
representing 25 per cent of the Company's current issued share
capital. The Board has agreed that a threshold of 25 per cent. of
the Company's issued share capital under option will not be
exceeded at any time.
Related party transaction
The aggregated grant of options to Steve Quah and Andrew Harvey
is a related party transaction pursuant to rule 13 of the AIM Rules
for Companies. Accordingly, the Directors, other than Steve Quah
and Andrew Harvey, having consulted with the Company's nominated
adviser, consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and
reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Further details and the information required in accordance with
the requirements of the Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU exit)
Regulations 2019/310 are set out at the end of this
announcement.
