Filta Group Holdings plc
("Filta" or the "Company")
Awards of share options and stock appreciation rights
Filta Group Holdings plc (AIM: FLTA), a leading provider of fryer management, grease management solutions and other services to commercial kitchens, announces that share options have been granted to certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") and employees under the Company's existing Share Option Scheme (being the 2017 Filta Group Holdings EMI Scheme). Furthermore, the Company has granted certain PDMRs and employees stock appreciation rights ("SARs") under the Company's existing SAR Plan (being the 2017 Filta Group Inc Stock Appreciation Rights Plan).
The options have an exercise price of 230 pence per share and will vest over a period of 3 years from 2021 to 2023, subject to the satisfaction of both time and certain performance conditions relating to annual profit growth over defined targets and are exercisable at any time after vesting for a period of 10 years from 15 May 2019. The Company has a total of 1,292,500 options over ordinary shares outstanding, representing approximately 4.45% of the Company's current issued share capital. The total consists of 50,000 vested and 1,242,500 unvested options.
The Company has granted options to the following PDMRs:
PDMR | No of options |
Harriet Morley | 60,000 |
Alastair Anderson | 10,000 |
In addition, Harriet Palin, a PCA of Edward Palin (Managing Director), has been awarded 7,500 options.
Under the 2017 Filta Group Inc Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, the SARs are structured as conditional cash bonuses whose value will be calculated by reference to the amount by which the price of the Company's ordinary shares has risen above the base price of 230 pence at the date of exercise.
The Company has issued a total of 110,000 SARs which include the following PDMRs:
PDMR | No of SARs |
Brian Hogan | 30,000 |
Tom Dunn | 30,000 |
Rob Totten | 20,000 |
Annalisa Bhim | 10,000 |
The vesting period and conditions for the SARs scheme are identical to those for the 2017 Filta Group Holdings EMI Scheme. The Company has a total of 607,500 SARs outstanding of which 110,000 have vested and 497,500 remain unvested.
