The Management Options are exercisable at a price of 5.00 pence per Ordinary Share, are exercisable only once the Company’s share price has closed at not less than 7.5 pence on five trading days (not necessarily consecutive), and are otherwise on the same terms as those granted to other senior staff.

The Company has also agreed with Michael Moles, a non-executive director, to settle his directors’ fees (net of statutory deductions) in shares. With effect from 1 July 2021 Mr Moles has been entitled to receive director’s fees of £2,000 per month and the Company has now agreed with him that following the end of each calendar quarter, he will be issued with shares, credited as fully paid at an issue price equal to the average of the closing mid-price of the Company’s shares over that quarter, to an amount equal to the net fees due to him for that period. The first allotment will take place in October 2021, in respect of Mr Moles’ net fees for the three months commencing 1 July.
