Grant of Options
Hardide (AIM: HDD), the provider of advanced surface coating
technology, announces that on 20 February 2017 it granted share
options to Peter Davenport, Finance Director of the Company, under
its Share Option Plan (the "New Options"). The New Options are over
a total of 3,000,000 new Ordinary shares with a nominal value of
0.1p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") and at
an exercise price of 0.875p each.
The New Options will, subject to the satisfaction of certain
performance conditions, vest in full immediately once the Board has
determined that such criteria have been met. In accordance with the
scheme rules, the options must be exercised within ten years of
being granted but will lapse if the vesting criteria are not met.
For the avoidance of doubt these options will be granted only once
and not in respect of each year in which the vesting criteria are
met. In summary the vesting criteria are:
i) The Company is EBITDA positive in any one of the full
financial years to 30th September of 2017, 2018 or 2019;
ii) The closing mid-market price of the Company's Ordinary
Shares reaches 2.5p within twelve months of the relevant financial
year end set out in point i) above; and
iii) Both of the criteria in i) and ii) above are met
The New Options will also vest in full in the event of a change
of control.
In aggregate, the New Options represent 0.2% of the existing
Ordinary share capital of the Company and following the grant of
the New Options, the Company has a total of 125,759,600 unexercised
options pursuant to its Share Option Plan. This amounts to
approximately 8.2% of the existing issued Ordinary share capital of
the Company of 1,534,906,304 Ordinary Shares.
