Share Options
The Company operates share option schemes for certain employees (including directors). Options are exercisable at the option price agreed at the date of grant. The options are settled in equity once exercised. The expected life of the options is 5 years. All options issued in the period to 31 December 2020 vested immediately, with no vesting requirements.
Details of the number of share options and the weighted average exercise price (WAEP) outstanding during the period are as follows:
31 December 2020 31 December 2019 WAEP Number WAEP Number GBP GBP Outstanding at the beginning of the period 75,000 0.50 75,000 0.50 Granted 170,000 0.55 - - Exercised - - - - Outstanding at the end of the year 245,000 0.53 75,000 0.50 Exercisable at year end 245,000 75,000
The share options outstanding at the end of the period have a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.86 years and have the following exercise prices and fair values at the date of grant:
First exercise date (when vesting conditions are Grant date Exercise Fair 31 December 31 December met) price value 2020 2019 GBP GBP Number Number 2 August 2018 2 August 0.50 0.3305 75,000 75,000 2018 4 June 2020 4 June 2020 0.55 0.0038 170,000 - 245,000 75,000
At 31 December 2020 245,000 options were exercisable (2019: 75,000).
For those options and warrants granted where IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment" is applicable, the fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The inputs into the model for the current and prior year were as follows:
Risk free rate Share price volatility Expected life Share price at date of grant 2 August 2018 1.00% 84% 60 months GBP0.50 4 June 2020 0.63% 84% 60 months GBP0.60
Expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of similar listed companies share prices for 12 months prior to the date of grant. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.
The Company therefore recognised total expenses of GBP1,000 relating to equity-settled share-based payment transactions during the period.
