OMEGA DIAGNOSTICS GROUP PLC
("Omega" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Establishment and initial operation of tax-advantaged all-employee share incentive plan
1. Establishment of the Omega Diagnostics Group PLC Share Incentive Plan
Omega (AIM: ODX), the specialist medical diagnostics company focused on promoting a personalised and functional approach to health and nutrition, announces the establishment and launch of a new HMRC tax-advantaged share scheme, namely the Omega Diagnostics Group PLC Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP" or the "Plan").
The SIP, which was entered into in late September, has been adopted to support the principles of wider share ownership amongst all the Company's employees. It allows eligible individuals (including Omega's executive directors) to be invited to purchase ordinary shares of 4 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") via the SIP trustee using salary deductions (which, in aggregate, cannot exceed £1,800 per employee over any one tax year). The Ordinary Shares acquired in this manner are referred to as "Partnership Shares" and, for each Partnership Share purchased, participants are awarded one further free Ordinary Share, known as a "Matching Share."
Matching Shares must normally be held in the SIP for a minimum holding period of 3 years and will usually be forfeited if, during that period, the participant in question ceases employment or withdraws their corresponding Partnership Shares from the Plan.
2. Initial purchase of Partnership Shares and award of Matching Shares
On 7 November 2022, the Company received notification from Link Market Services Trustees Limited, the trustee of the SIP, that, on 7 November 2022, it purchased an aggregate of 130,908 Partnership Shares in the market at a price of 2.75p per share on behalf of those Directors set out in the table below. At the same time, these individuals were also awarded (for no consideration) their corresponding Matching Shares.
| Director | Board Position | Number of Partnership Shares acquired under the SIP on 7 November 2022 | Number of Matching Shares acquired under the SIP on 7 November 2022 | Total beneficial holding of Ordinary Shares following these acquisitions | |
| Number of Ordinary Shares | Approximate % of Company's issued share capital | ||||
| Jag Grewal | CEO | 65,454 | 65,454 | 1,025,834 | 0.43% |
| Chris Lea | CFO | 65,454 | 65,454 | 1,030,908 | 0.43% |
The salary deductions used by each of the above-noted Directors to acquire their Partnership Shares amounted to £1,800, being the maximum level of contribution that can be made to the SIP by an individual in any single tax year.
