CEO Incentive Plan
Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE, "Seeing Machines" or the
"Company"), the advanced computer vision technology company that
designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve transport
safety, is pleased to announce that the Board has extended the
terms of its employment contract with CEO Paul McGlone for a 3-year
period to 30 June 2026 and invited him to participate in the Seeing
Machines Employee Benefits Plan ("the Plan) in respect of
10,000,000 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company
("Ordinary Shares") as outlined below.
As part of the Plan, Mr McGlone will be awarded rights in
respect of 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares, to vest on 30 June 2026,
conditional on the satisfaction of key conditions, including a
target share price performance to be measured on 30 June 2026. The
issue of these Ordinary Shares will be subject to shareholder
approval.
In addition, previously issued rights of 15,000,000 Ordinary
Shares via the Plan in 2019 will be rolled over and extended to
vest on 30 June 2026. Vesting hurdles have not been met on
10,000,000 of these rights as at the original dates of 30 June 2022
and 2023, with the further 5,000,000 rights originally set to be
tested at 30 June 2024. The full amount of 15,000,000 rights will
now be extended to 30 June 2026 and vesting will be conditional on
the satisfaction of the abovementioned conditions.
Further, the Company previously issued 12,000,000 options to Mr
McGlone as part of the Company's Call Option Scheme which have now
fully vested and are set to expire on 30 June 2023. The life of
these options has also been extended to 30 June 2026.
The extension of previously issued rights and options has been
granted by the Board as it believes the hard work and leadership
demonstrated by Mr McGlone and the bolstered position of Seeing
Machines across the market is inconsistent with and not reflected
by the current share price. The Company also believes it is
important to encourage its senior employees, including the CEO, to
participate in its success by giving them the opportunity to access
long term incentives that are dependent on the delivery of value
creation and aligned to the interests of shareholders.
Chair of Seeing Machines, Kate Hill, commented: "We are
delighted to extend Paul's employment contract and look forward to
working with him to continue transforming the business. In his time
as CEO, Paul has made a huge impact on the company, achieving
significant business improvements and establishing Seeing Machines
as the leading supplier of driver and occupant monitoring system
technology."
