Tuesday 24 March 2020: Security systems and cloud-based technology solutions company Spectur Limited (ASX:SP3) (“Spectur” or “the Company”) advises that a total of 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares owned by ex-founder and substantial shareholder Richard Wilkins have been crossed to Spectur Non-Executive Directors Darren Cooper and Stephen Bodeker (who have acquired 250,000 shares each) at a price of 8.0 cents per share. The agreement for the off market transaction was made in principle on 18 March 2020 at a closing share price of 7.0 cents per share. Settlment occurred on 24 March 2020.
Mr Wilkins has disposed of the securities to meet current taxation obligations arising from the prior vesting of Performance Rights shares. He remains a substantial holder and key supporter of Spectur, currently holding approximately 6.0 million fully paid ordinary shares comprising 7.9% of the Company’s share capital and 2 million options. Mr Wilkins has also entered into a voluntary escrow commitment with Spectur not to sell any further Spectur shares for the next 6 months.
Appendix 3Ys advising of a change in each of the Directors’ Interest Notice follow this announcement.
In addition to these off-market transfers, between 13 March and 16 March 2020, Spectur Managing Director Dr Gerard Dyson also acquired a further 293,300 shares on market, thereby increasing his interest in the Company to 893,300 shares.
Managing Director Dr Gerard Dyson said “Richard Wilkins remains a long-term supporter of Spectur, however some selling to assist with pending taxation obligations related to prior Spectur performance rights was needed. This transaction and escrow period confirms this long-term support.”
“Clearly there remain challenging market conditions that face almost all listed companies, however the fundamentals of Spectur remain sound and we have cash in the bank. The Board and I remain convinced of the bright future of this Company and are pleased to acquire and increase Board & KMP ownership.”
The Company also advises that Peter Holton’s 5.1 million shareholding came out of 3 month voluntary escrow on 11 March 2020.
Ends.
