Issue of new shares, grant of incentive awards, PDMR dealing
and total voting rights
Alpha FMC (AIM: AFM), a leading global provider of specialist
consultancy services to the asset management, wealth management and
insurance industries, announces that the Company has made a grant
of staff incentive awards.
On 6 July 2021, the Company granted 2,949,301 awards under its
Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") to its management team globally,
comprising 1,434,625 UK Joint Share Ownership Plan awards ("JSOP
Shares") and 1,514,676 MIP share options. In addition, the Company
granted 10,128 share option awards under its Employee Incentive
Plan ("EIP") to employees. There will be no voting rights attached
to the JSOP Shares while they are held in Alpha's Employee Benefit
Trust ("EBT") .
These JSOP Shares, MIP and EIP share options (i) have a nominal
or nil consideration, (ii) will vest after three to five years,
(iii) have a 10 year term, and (iv) are subject to certain
individual or Group performance conditions. The performance
conditions of the MIP awards and JSOP Shares include: (i) relevant
country or divisional FY 22 budgetary performance targets, (ii)
individual sales, delivery excellence and behavioural targets, and
(iii) total shareholder return of a basket of comparable companies
over three years, as applicable.
A total of 1,800,000 ordinary shares of 0.075 pence per share in
the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") will be issued by the Company
to the EBT, of which 1,434,625 will be used for the JSOP Shares and
365,375 will be held by the EBT for the satisfaction of future
share option awards. Application has been made for the New Ordinary
Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing
issued Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is
expected that admission will become effective and that trading in
the New Ordinary Shares will commence on or around 12 July
2021.
Following the JSOP Shares, MIP and EIP share option awards, the
Company will have 10,085,777 unvested MIP and EIP share options and
JSOP Shares outstanding in total, representing approximately 8.53%
of the issued share capital of the Company. Within this total,
9,589,977 unvested MIP options and JSOP Shares are outstanding,
including the 2,949,301 MIP options and JSOP Shares awarded on 6
July 2021. Total unvested MIP options and JSOP Shares outstanding
represent approximately 8.11% of the issued share capital of the
Company, of which approximately 2.49% was awarded on 6 July
2021.
As set out in the Company's AIM Admission Document, no more than
10 per cent of the total share capital of the Company from time to
time shall be subject to unvested JSOP Shares, Options and RSUs
that are granted under the MIP.
Of the 6 July 2021 MIP award grants, 239,735 have been granted
to Euan Fraser and 83,823 have been granted to John Paton, both
persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs").
Following the grant of the MIP awards, Euan Fraser holds 855,372
MIP options and JSOP Shares awards and he and his immediate family
are beneficially interested in 563,485 Ordinary Shares representing
0.50% of the Company's total voting rights. Also, further to the
grant of the MIP awards, John Paton holds 352,713 MIP options and
JSOP Shares and he and his immediate family are beneficially
interested in 37,639 Ordinary Shares representing 0.03% of the
Company's total voting rights.
Subsequent to admission, the Company will have 118,235,555
Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 6,213,628 are held in the
Company's Employee Benefit Trust. No shares are held in treasury.
The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be
112,021,927.The above figure of 112,021,927 may be used by
shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations
by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of
the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
