Tax Systems Plc
("Tax Systems" or "the Company")
Long Term Incentive Plan and Warrants
Tax Systems, a leading supplier of corporation tax software and
services, announces that, on 2 August 2017, it made awards to
certain directors and members of the senior management team under
the Company's recently established long term incentive plan
("LTIP") and entered into a deed of amendment and restatement in
relation to the MXC Capital Limited warrant instrument.
These awards follow the changes in board composition and the
recruitment of a senior management team as previously announced and
result in no additional dilution to shareholders from the original
arrangements as set out in the admission document dated 1 July 2016
("Admission Document") which was sent to shareholders in connection
with the Company's acquisition of Tax Computer Systems Limited (the
"Acquisition").
LTIP
In the year since the Acquisition and re-admission to trading on
AIM, new board members and a senior management team have been
recruited. In order to appropriately incentivise management to
deliver long-term value creation for shareholders and ensure
alignment with shareholders' interests, the Company has established
the LTIP which replaces the Employee Share Scheme and all awards
made thereunder, details of which were announced on 27 July 2016.
The beneficiaries of the LTIP will be entitled to receive a share
in a pool of up to 8 per cent. of shareholder value created,
subject to the share price performance condition being met.
Awards under the LTIP are structured as a combination of EMI
options with an exercise price of 81.5 pence per ordinary share of
1 penny each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Share"),
being the mid closing price of an Ordinary Share as at 1 August
2017, and growth shares exercisable at nil cost. The commercial
terms are the same as those awards made under the original Employee
Share Scheme as disclosed in the Admission Document.
Awards of 4.7 per cent. of shareholder value created have been
made to Gavin Lyons, Chief Executive Officer, (3.2 per cent.), Paul
Gibson, Non-Executive Director (1.0 per cent.) and Kevin Goggin,
Chief Financial Officer, (0.5 per cent.) (the "Director LTIP
Awards"). Further awards of 3.3 per cent. of shareholder value
created have been made to certain members of the senior management
team.
In order to satisfy tax liabilities which will be incurred as a
result of their participation in the LTIP, Tax Computer Systems
Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, has made loans to certain
beneficiaries of the LTIP (the "Loans"). The Loans, together with
the taxes and fees payable by the Company in relation to the LTIP,
will result in a cash outflow of approximately GBP300,000.
MXC Capital Limited Warrant Instrument
The Company also announces that it has entered into a deed of
amendment and restatement whereby MXC Capital Limited ("MXC") has
agreed to reduce its evergreen warrants over 6 per cent. of the
fully diluted share capital of the Company to 4 per cent. in order
that the awards under the LTIP be increased from 6 per cent. to 8
per cent. of shareholder value created. Therefore 1,488,543
warrants have been cancelled and MXC now hold 3,362,641 warrants
(the "Warrants"), representing 4 per cent. of the issued share
capital, as enlarged by the Warrants. MXC also hold 15,200,718
Ordinary Shares, representing 18.8 per cent. of the Company's
issued share capital.
Related Party Transactions
The independent Directors of the Company (for the purpose of
this transaction being Clive Carver and Linda Beal) consider,
having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser finnCap
Limited, that the Director LTIP Awards and associated Loans are
fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are
concerned.
In addition, the independent Directors of the Company (for the
purpose of this transaction being Clive Carver, Linda Beal, Gavin
Lyons and Kevin Goggin) consider, having consulted with the
Company's nominated adviser finnCap Limited, that the amendment and
restatement of the Warrants, is fair and reasonable insofar as the
Company's shareholders are concerned.
