Tekmar Group plc (AIM: TGP), a leading provider of asset protection technology and offshore energy services, announces that the Group has established a share option plan which has granted share options on 6 May 2026 (the "May 2026 Plan", the "Plan") to certain directors of the Group ("Directors") and other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") employees.
Background to and Key Terms of the Share Option Plan
Steve Lockard has been a non-executive director of Tekmar since April 2023, joining the Board at the time of SCF Partners' investment in the Group, where Steve was a co-investor. Steve subsequently assumed the role of Chair in June 2024. Steve brings a wealth of experience in the offshore energy sector and brings valuable insight to the Group's value creation and platform building strategy, both organically and through M&A.
To reflect Steve's significant Board level contribution, and to align his involvement with the interests of the Company's shareholders, Steve has been granted 1,500,000 share options under the Plan with the following conditions:
- 500,000 share options at an exercise price of 1.00p exercisable from date of grant;
- 500,000 share options at an exercise price of 5.00p exercisable from date of grant; and
- 500,000 share options at an exercise price of 5.00p exercisable after the share price has exceeded 19.99p.
The share options under the Plan (the "New Share Options") represent 1,500,000 shares in aggregate, equivalent to 1.07% of the Company's current issued share capital of 139,551,387. Total ordinary shares under option (including the New Share Options and those Share Options announced earlier on 7 May 2026) represent 8.2% of the Company's current issued share capital.
