Solo Oil plc
("Solo" or "the Company")
Director / PDMR Shareholdings
Solo (AIM: SOLO), the AIM investing company targeting attractive
production and development opportunities within the European energy
market, makes the following announcement in respect of certain
disclosable transactions carried out by its directors and persons
discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") following the
Company's announcement on 29 June 2020.
Grant of Director Options
As was announced on 29 June 2020, the Company has granted
nominal cost options (the "Director Options") over new ordinary
shares of 0.2p each in the Company to each of its directors and
members of the Executive Management team (excluding Alastair
Ferguson), each of whom is a PDMR.
The Director Options have been granted in lieu of the cash
salary and/or directors' fees due to the holders of the Director
Options over the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2021.
The number of Ordinary Shares initially granted under each
Director Option have an aggregate value equal (on a net basis,
after deduction of the nominal exercise price per Ordinary Share)
to the salary and/or fees due to the relevant option holder (but
currently unpaid) up to 31 May 2020.
As also announced, each Director Option has been granted in
settlement of future cash salary and/or directors' fees that would
be due to be paid to the relevant option holder over the period
from the grant date to 30 June 2021. The number of Ordinary Shares
over which each Director Option may be exercised shall be increased
on a month-by-month basis by an amount equal (in value terms, by
reference to the average share price over the relevant month) to
the salary and/or directors' fees that would otherwise have fallen
to be paid to the relevant option holder in cash for the preceding
month.
One-Off Share Award to Alastair Ferguson
As was also announced on 29 June 2020, in recognition of the
work undertaken by Alastair Ferguson in his role as Executive
Chairman since February 2019 and the progress the Company has made
under his leadership towards delivery of the Company's new
strategy, the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors has
agreed that Alastair Ferguson shall be awarded a one-time
discretionary share award of 7,500,000 Ordinary Shares (the "Share
Award").
The Ordinary Shares comprised in the Share Award have been
delivered from the existing Ordinary Shares held as trust assets
within the Company's Employee Benefit Trust.
It has been agreed with Alastair Ferguson that the Share Award
shall be delivered to him in full and final settlement of any
salary and/or director's fees owed to him by the Company up to 30
June 2020.
Incentive awards
As was also announced on 29 June 2020, the Company has granted
the following incentive awards ("Incentive Awards") to each
Director and Douglas Rycroft, the Company's Chief Operating
Officer, as part of their normal incentivisation arrangements to
align them with the future share price performance of the
Company:
Name Number of Ordinary Shares
granted under Incentive Awards
Directors
--------------------------------
Alastair Ferguson 12,854,945
--------------------------------
Thomas Reynolds 12,854,945
--------------------------------
Jonathan Fitzpatrick 12,854,945
--------------------------------
Donald Nicolson 6,427,473
--------------------------------
PDMR
--------------------------------
Douglas Rycroft 6,427,473
--------------------------------
Each Incentive Award has been delivered as an option over
Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of 1.3p per Share, which is
approximately a 24 per cent premium to the closing mid-market price
of the Company's Ordinary Shares on 26 June 2020.
Each Incentive Option will ordinarily become exercisable on the
second anniversary of the grant date, except in the event of
specified corporate events or, exceptionally, if the option holder
leaves as a 'good leaver'.
The Notification of Dealing Forms can be found below.
AGM approval
The Company does not currently have sufficient headroom under
its standing authority from shareholders to allot shares to satisfy
the exercise of the Director Options or the Incentive Options with
newly-issued shares. The Board intends to seek authority to allot
the appropriate number of shares from shareholders at the Company's
next AGM, which will be convened following the posting of the
Company's 2019 Annual Report. That authority will also cover
certain shares to be issued to Prolific Basins, LLC (as detailed in
the Company's announcement on 29 June 2020). Unless and until such
authority is obtained, the exercise of any of the Director Options
will be satisfied only with shares purchased in the market. The
Board anticipates that this shareholder authority will be in place
prior to the exercise of any of the Director Options or Incentive
Options.
This announcement is made in accordance with Article 19 of the
EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.
