The issue of shares in lieu of cash bonus payments to Mr Menzies and Mr Dennan falls to be treated as a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The independent directors, being James Parsons, Marco Fumagalli and Fiona MacAulay, consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares:
- Mr. James Menzies will be interested in 7,007,840 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing an interest of 0.89 per cent in the total voting rights of the Company; and
- Mr Andrew Dennan will be interested in 3,123,830 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing an interest of 0.40 per cent in the total voting rights of the Company.
