Grant of Options and PDMR Dealing
Cambridge UK, 23 May : Arecor Therapeutics plc (AIM: AREC), the biopharmaceutical group advancing today's therapies to enable healthier lives, announces that on 22 May 2024, it granted a total of 540,000 options under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP Options") and 383,250 options under the Company's All Employee Share Ownership Plan ("AESOP Options"), over new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
The LTIP Options have an exercise price of 1 pence and are granted to certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") of the Company. Performance conditions include commercial objectives and Total Shareholder Return during the three-year performance period. The LTIP Options are subject to continued service and the extent to which the performance conditions are satisfied. Vested LTIP Options will normally be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the grant date, after which time they will lapse. They are subject to a condition that the LTIP Options or the Ordinary Shares acquired on exercise of the LTIP Options (other than those sold to cover tax and National Insurance) are held for a minimum one-year period from vesting.
The AESOP Options vest after 36 months and are exercisable at £1.585 per share, being the closing market price of an Ordinary Share on the day preceding the date of grant. The AESOP Options are subject to continuous employment and are exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, after which date the option will lapse. The grant of AESOP Options included 184,000 AESOP Options granted to certain PDMRs.
The notifications below, made in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation, provide further detail.
