Total | 6,665,614 |
*As enlarged by the exercise of the Options
Certain Directors have indicated that the proceeds of this sale will be applied to fund further exercise of share options that are due to expire in October 2021 in the near future.
Variations to existing options and scheme
Following the exercise of the Options, the Company now has 56,070,262 options over Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 13,804,987 Unapproved Options were due to expire on 19 October 2021, 23,372,577 Unapproved Options were due to expire on 20 April 2022, 1,421,240 Unapproved Options were due to expire on 27 July 2023, 161,972 Unapproved Options were due to expire on 15 March 2024 and 785,110 Unapproved Options were due to expire on 27 July 2024. The Remuneration Committee of the Board has today resolved to implement an extension of the expiry date of these options by three years to 19 October 2024, 20 April 2025, 27 July 2026, 15 March 2027 and 27 July 2027 respectively resulting in the total life of the share options being 10 years, in line with Unapproved Options granted since 2018.
In addition, the Remuneration Committee has resolved to implement a variation of the terms of the Company's Unapproved Share Option Plan to allow for net-settlement on exercise of the options by optionholders. Net-settlement on exercise means that the cost of exercising options will be netted off against the number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise. Therefore, the cost of exercising the option will be satisfied by the optionholder receiving fewer shares than they are entitled under the option. The number of Ordinary Shares issued will be equivalent to the combination of the "in the money" value of the options and the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares to be issued, calculated based on the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on the day prior to the exercise notice being received by the Company. This will result in fewer new Ordinary Shares being issued by the Company and therefore less dilution for existing shareholders.
Of the outstanding Unapproved Share Options subject to the above variations, the following are held by Directors of the Company, related parties as defined under the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules"):
Option | No. of | Exercise price | Original | Extended | |
Director | scheme | Options | £ | Expiry Date | Expiry Date |
David Page | Unapproved | 1,647,256 | 0.06 | 19/10/2021 | 19/10/2024 |

Nick Wong | Unapproved | 2,205,242 | 0.06 | 19/10/2021 | 19/10/2024 |
Unapproved | 4,732,795 | 0.11 | 20/04/2022 | 20/04/2025 | |
Total | 35,102,564 |
The extension to the expiry date of the options and the amendment to the Unapproved Share Option Plan constitute related party transactions pursuant to the AIM Rules, Des Gunewardena, being the independent director for the purpose of the transactions, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Allenby Capital Limited, considers the terms of the amendments to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
Total voting rights
Following Admission, the Company will have 616,282,795 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the total number of votingrights in the Company is 616,282,795. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they should determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
