New Option Scheme
PPA announces that, following the placing that closed yesterday, the board has agreed to cancel the existing option scheme (the "Pre-IPO Option Scheme") and the options granted on 15 December 2005 thereunder. The board has today implemented a new option scheme (the "New Option Scheme") from which options over ordinary shares ("New Options") have been granted to directors of the company. Permission for the cancelling of the Pre-IPO Option Scheme and the implementation of the New Option Scheme was granted at the AGM on 25 July 2008. The details of the options cancelled and granted are as follows:
