("Torotrak" or the "Company")
Director Share Dealing
Further to the announcement on 3 May 2011, John Weston was appointed Chairman of the Company on 1 June 2011. Upon appointment on 1 June 2011, John Weston has informed the Company that on 26 May 2011 he purchased 300,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company at an average price of 48.33 pence per share. This represents John Weston's total shareholding in the Company and equates to approximately 0.18% of the Company's issued share capital.
Pursuant to the terms of John Weston's letter of appointment, and subject to shareholder approval to be obtained at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 29 July 2011, John Weston is entitled to a one off grant of options up to a maximum of £140,000 in value and only to the extent that shares in the Company were also personally acquired by Mr Weston. Accordingly, subject to shareholder approval, Mr Weston has been granted an option over 290,155 ordinary shares at an exercise price of 48.25p, being the average of the closing mid share price of the Company for the five days following the Company's Preliminary Announcement on 25 May 2011.
Under the terms of the share option agreement which is subject to shareholder approval, the options are capable of vesting between three and ten years after grant as to 50% if the share price increases by at least 33% and as to 100% if the share price increases by at least 67% over a defined period. Full details will be contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 July 2011 and which will be sent to shareholders later this month. These share options are a one-off grant and have no relationship to the Long Term Performance Share Plan, which provides for annual grants of shares to executives only.
