THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF REGULATION 596/2014 AS AMENDED AND TRANSPOSED INTO UK LAW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018 ("UK MAR").
22 April 2026
Seascape Energy Asia plc
(the "Company", "Seascape Energy" or "Seascape")
Notification of Transaction by Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR")
Deferred 2025 Annual Bonus
The Executive Directors have elected to receive the as yet unpaid element of their annual 2025 bonus in the form of equity in the Company.
The Awards
Fifty percent of the Executive Directors' 2025 bonus was to be paid in cash but contingent upon a suitable liquidity event having occurred. Whilst the recent placing of new ordinary shares in the Company qualifies as such an event, the Executive Directors have taken the view that it would not be appropriate to use those monies in part to pay the cash element of their bonuses. Moreover, taking the award in equity enables them to continue to continue to build their equity stakes in the Company, ensuring alignment with shareholders.
Following the vesting of these awards, together with those awarded in January and the existing shareholdings, the Directors will hold a total of 7.8% of the Company's issued share capital.
Accordingly the Company's Remuneration Committee has decided to make these equity awards under the existing LTIP scheme. This will see the Executive Directors being awarded nil cost options to acquire ordinary shares in the Company. The number of shares and percentage of the Company's current issued share capital ("ISC"), is set out below:
PDMR | Title |
| No. of Option shares | ISC% | |
Nick Ingrassia | CEO | 232,721 | 0.33 | ||
James Menzies | Executive Chairman | 164,991 | 0.24 | ||
Pierre Eliet | Executive Director Corporate Development | 166,578 | 0.24 | ||
To be consistent, the calculation of the Awards has utilised the same price and date of grant used for the first part of the bonus made by way of an LTIP Award, announced on 13 January 2026. Subject to the rules of the Plan the Options will vest in 12 months from the date of grant and be exercisable for a period of up to five years from grant.
The LTIP
The LTIP, which is designed to provide incentivisation and retention for the Company's personnel, was approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM and the principal terms are summarised in the Company's Re-admission document of 10 June 2021 (available on the Company's web site).
Notification of Deal Forms of each PDMR can be found below. This announcement is made in accordance with Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.
