("Avingtrans" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Share Incentive Awards, Issue of Equity and TVR
Avingtrans plc announces that the Company has under the terms of the Company's Executive Shared Ownership Plan (the "ExSOP") and CSOP share scheme (the "CSOP") made grants of awards over ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") as set out below.
Awards under the ExSOP
On 15 December 2017, the Board of Avingtrans, in accordance with the Company's ExSOP, granted awards over 330,000 Ordinary Shares at an option price of 181.5p. The following ExSOP awards were granted to Directors and a PDMR, with each paying 0.1 pence for his interest in each Ordinary Share subject to his ExSOP award:
Director | Number of Ordinary Shares subject to ExSOP awards |
Steve McQuillan | 140,000 |
Stephen King | 110,000 |
Furthermore Austen Adams, Managing Director of the Group's Energy & Medical Division and a PDMR of the Company, has been granted ExSOP awards over a total of 80,000 Ordinary Shares.
Under the provisions of the ExSOP, Ordinary Shares are jointly owned between the individuals above and by an employees' share trust, on terms, similar to a share option scheme, whereby the participant can benefit only from the future growth in the value of the Ordinary Shares above the closing market value of the shares on the award date (being therefore the closing market value on 15 December 2017) in excess of a carrying cost.
Awards are subject to a performance condition and participants may not normally realise any such benefit before 15 December 2020. The performance condition for each of the ExSOP awards is that the increase in adjusted EPS must be at least equal to the increase in RPI over the vesting period.
The awards under the ExSOP have been satisfied through the issue of 330,000 new Ordinary Shares. Application has been made for admission to trading on AIM for the 330,000 new Ordinary Shares ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will be effective on 22 December 2017.
Subsequent to the issue of the new Ordinary Shares as above, the Company's total issued share capital is 31,039,636 Ordinary Shares. Avingtrans does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in Avingtrans is 31,039,636.
Awards under the CSOP
On 15 December 2017, the Board of Avingtrans, in accordance with the Company's CSOP, granted options over 157,000 Ordinary Shares with an option price of 177.5 pence per Ordinary Share.
All of the options granted may not be exercised until 3 years from the date of grant and are subject to a performance condition. The performance condition for each of these options is that the increase in adjusted EPS must be at least equal to the increase in RPI over the vesting period.
