Market Price Share Option Scheme
K3, which provides mission -- critical business software and
cloud solutions, announces that its Remuneration Committee
("RemCo") has today granted 160,000 new options to certain Persons
Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") ("Share
Options"). These grants have been made under the terms of the K3
Long Term Incentive Plan 2020 adopted on 12 November 2020 (the
"LTIP") and together amount to approximately 0.36% of the Company's
current non-diluted issued share capital. All of the Share Options
are exercisable at a price of 204p per share, being the closing
mid-market price of K3 ordinary shares on the business day
immediately before the grant date.
The Share Options awarded to PDMRs of the Group are as
follows:
Name Position Options awarded
Robert Price Chief Financial Officer 40,000
---------------------------- ----------------
Sjoerd Starren MD, Global Accounts 40,000
---------------------------- ----------------
Andrew Payne Chief Technology Officer 40,000
---------------------------- ----------------
Chrissie Humphrey HR Director 40,000
---------------------------- ----------------
Vesting of the Share Options is based on the achievement of
certain prescribed levels of incremental annual recurring revenue
in respect of the Group's K3|imagine product suite between 1
December 2020 (being the start of the current financial year of the
Company) and 30 November 2024. The Share Options will vest
proportionately as between 25% and 100% of the award, with no
vesting permitted unless the lowest threshold (corresponding to 25%
vesting) is achieved.
Subject to meeting the above performance targets, the Share
Options may be exercised following vesting and until the seventh
anniversary of the original date of grant, at which point they will
lapse.
In addition, at the same time as the award of the Share Options,
the Company has amended the terms of the 300,000 LTIP share options
granted to the Group's Chairman, Tom Crawford, on 12 November 2020
to align the periods for measurement of the performance condition
and vesting with the options granted to the Group's CEO on 30 March
2021.
Further details in respect of the awards are provided below, in
accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (No 596/2014).
