SAE announces that that the Company's Remuneration Committee has approved the adoption of a new long term incentive plan ("LTIP"), following expiry of the previous LTIP on 10 December 2023 after a ten-year term. Share option awards under the new LTIP are to be made to key members of SAE's management team including certain of its persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"), in line with the Board's view that it is essential for the Company's executive directors and employees to be incentivised to drive the business forwards, and provide alignment of interest with those of shareholders. Share option awards under the LTIP will ordinarily vest over three years after the grant date subject to the grantee's continued service, and are exercisable for seven years thereafter. Total aggregate awards under the CSOP and LTIP are limited to a maximum 10% of the Company's issued share capital.
Grant of LTIP Options
On 3 January 2024 under the terms of the Company's new LTIP, the Board approved the award and grant of, in aggregate, 10,300,000 options over ordinary shares in the Company ("LTIP Options") to the executive directors and a PDMR, as follows:
| Name | Position | LTIP Options awarded |
|---|---|---|
| Graham Reid | CEO | 5,000,000 |
| Simon Hirst | CFO | 2,200,000 |
| David Taaffe | COO (non-Board, PDMR) | 3,100,000 |
The LTIP Options have been granted subject to continued employment and will vest in three equal annual instalments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The LTIP Options are exercisable, subject to vesting, for ten years after grant. There are no further performance conditions. The options have an exercise price of 1.5p being the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on 2 January 2024, being the last dealing day immediately prior to the date of grant.
Additionally, certain members of SAE's executive senior management have surrendered a total 4,550,000 previously-granted LTIP options with exercise prices ranging from 20p to 50p, which are not being replaced.
Grant of CSOP Options
On 3 January 2024, under the terms of the Company's CSOP, the Board approved the award and grant of, in aggregate, 9,135,947 options over ordinary shares in the Company ("CSOP Options"), including to the executive directors and a PDMR, as follows:
| Name | Position | CSOP Options awarded |
|---|---|---|
| Graham Reid | CEO | 1,000,000 |
| Simon Hirst | CFO | 1,000,000 |
| David Taaffe | COO (non-Board, PDMR) | 1,000,000 |
The CSOP Options vest on the third anniversary of grant and are exercisable for seven years thereafter at 1.5p per ordinary share, being the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on 2 January 2024, being the last dealing day immediately prior to the date of grant.
Following the grant of the above options, the total number of options granted under the Company's CSOP and LTIP schemes is 64,790,643, representing 8.96% of the Company's existing issued share capital.
