THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED
UNDER THE UK MARKET ABUSE REGULATION. WITH THE PUBLICATION OF THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT, THIS INFORMATION IS NOW CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE
PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Greatland Gold plc
("Greatland" or "the Company")
Grant of Performance Rights and Amendment of Existing
Options
Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), a mining development and
exploration company with a focus on precious and base metals,
announces the proposed grant of share based incentive awards to
certain employees and an executive director, and the extension of
the expiry date of existing share options held by a director.
The Company proposes to award Performance Share Rights under the
terms of a new long term incentive scheme which will give the
holders the right to subscribe for up to 26,250,000 ordinary shares
at 0.1p each (inclusive of 2,000,000 Performance Share Rights
previously announced on 8 July 2021).
The Performance Share Rights will vest at the end of a three
year performance period and will, in addition, be subject to a one
year retention period, for a total of four years. The vesting of
the Performance Share Rights will be subject to the satisfaction of
a number of performance conditions reflecting operational and
shareholder value criteria. Performance will be assessed by the
Remuneration Committee.
The grant of the Performance Share Rights is intended to provide
a long-term incentive to employees acting as a retention mechanism,
rewarding outcomes consistent with the performance conditions, and
creating additional alignment with shareholders. The expiry date of
Performance Share Rights will be 10 years from grant.
Included in the above figure is a Performance Share Right over
up to 12,000,000 ordinary shares awarded to Shaun Day, Chief
Executive Officer .
As Shaun Day is a related party, the proposed award of
Performance Share Right to him is regarded as a related party
transaction under the AIM Rules. Accordingly, the Independent
Directors, being the Directors other than Shaun Day, consider,
having consulted with SPARK Advisory Partners Limited, the
Company's nominated adviser, that the award of Performance Share
Right is fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are
concerned.
In addition, the Company has amended the terms of existing share
options held by Alex Borrelli, Non-executive Chairman. Without
amendment, all of the share options held by Mr Borrelli would
expire in 2022. The Company believes that a more progressive
sequence of expiry dates would better serve the interests of
shareholders and the Company as a whole. The Company has therefore
determined to extend the expiry dates of all of the options held by
Mr Borrelli by 12 months from their current expiry dates, as
follows:
Number Exercise price (p) Grant date Vesting date Original expiry Amended expiry date Revised

All other terms of the options remain unchanged.
The amendment of these existing options is regarded as a related
party transaction under the AIM Rules. Accordingly, the Independent
Directors, being the Directors other than Alex Borrelli, consider,
having consulted with SPARK Advisory Partners Limited, the
Company's nominated adviser, that the amendments to the terms of
the share options held by Alex Borrelli are fair and reasonable
insofar as shareholders are concerned.
