IOG plc
Conversion of Salaries/Fees into Share Options and
Exercise of Salary/Fee Sacrifice Options
IOG plc ("IOG" or "the Company"), (AIM: IOG.L), the Net Zero UK
gas and infrastructure operator focused on high return projects,
announces the following transactions in its ordinary shares of 1
pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"):
-- certain Directors and other members of the management and
technical teams have sacrificed all or part of their cash salaries
or fees into options over Ordinary Shares ("Options") for periods
between 1 March 2021 and 31 August 2021, and;
-- James Chance, a Person Directing Managerial Responsibilities
in the Company ("PDMR") and one former contractor have exercised
previously issued Options pursuant to Salary and Fee Sacrifice
Share Option agreements respectively.
Award of Salary/Fee Sacrifice Options
The conversion of cash salaries and fees into Options is
consistent with previous salary and fee sacrifice transactions,
creating additional alignment between management, directors and
shareholders.
As previously announced, this mechanism was intended to continue
while the Company is in a pre-cash flow phase. As the Company
expects to generate its first revenues in Q4 2021, the Board
intends this to be the final tranche of salary/fee conversion into
Options. The total historical aggregate salary and fee sacrifices
by employees, directors and contractors since 2014 amounts to
approximately GBP2.25 million.
As further detailed in the table below, such personnel have
accepted Options in lieu of cash salaries or fees due in the
relevant periods. All of these Options have a five-year term from
the effective date of 29 September 2021 and are issued by reference
to the volume weighted average price per Ordinary Share ("VWAP")
over the period to which they relate. The VWAP over the period from
1 March 2021 to 31 August 2021 was 20.97p. A total of 479,052 new
Options have been issued for this period, each with an exercise
price of 1p, representing approximately 0.09% per cent of the
Company's issued share capital following Admission (as defined
below).
Exercise of Salary/Fee Sacrifice Options
In addition, the Company announces that it has issued a total of
321,159 Ordinary Shares, resulting from two exercises of Options as
follows:
-- On 29 September 2021, a notice was submitted by James Chance,
a PDMR, to exercise 79,123 Options pursuant to a Salary Sacrifice
Share Option agreement (the "Exercise"). The Options were issued in
2016 and were due to expire shortly. James Chance has not sold any
Ordinary Shares to fund the Exercise. On Admission James Chance
will hold 697,586 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.13%
of the share capital of the Company on Admission.
-- On 29 September 2021, a notice was submitted by a former
contractor to exercise 242,036 Options pursuant to a Fee Sacrifice
Share Option agreement. The Options were issued between 2016 and
2018.
The Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange for
admission of 321,159 new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM
("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur on 6 October 2021.
Following Admission there will be 523,764,212 Ordinary Shares in
issue. Accordingly, this number may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
Following these two exercises, a total of 4,325,027 salary/fee
sacrifice options (representing approximately 0.83% of the Ordinary
Shares in issue following Admission) held by current and former IOG
personnel remain unexercised with expiry dates out to 2026.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes
of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it
forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("MAR"), and is disclosed in accordance with
the company's obligations under Article 17 of MAR.
