In The Style announces that it has completed a restructure of its long-term management incentive scheme. Through the restructure:

-    a total of 637,500 options ("Options") over the Company's ordinary shares of £0.0025 each ("Ordinary Shares"), which were granted in March 2021 and have an exercise price of £2.00, were surrendered (the "Surrendered Options"). Of these, 375,000 options were surrendered by John Allen (CTO), a PDMR; and

 

-  a total of 1,818,750 new Options over Ordinary Shares were issued to Directors and Senior Management under the existing EMI Scheme adopted on 9 March 2021 ("Options Issued"), of which:

 

637,500 Options were issued to employees in lieu of the Surrendered Options;

131,250 new Options were issued to longer serving employees

The Options Issued have an exercise price of £0.875, which is the closing mid-market price of the Company's existing Ordinary Shares on 27 May 2022, the latest practicable date prior to the issue of the Options.

The Options Issued will vest in tranches of one third on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of issue and expire 10 years from the date of issue. Vesting or exercise of the Options Issued is not dependent on performance criteria and none of the Options Issued can be exercised until the third anniversary of the date of issue.

Of the Options Issued:

-     525,000 Options were issued to Richard Monaghan, following his appointment in March 2022; and
