Options Issuance and Directors Dealings
12 January 2024
Corcel plc, (London AIM: CRCL), the Angolan focused exploration
and production company, announces an award of options to Senior
Executives and Board members.
Corcel Executive Chairman, Antoine Karam, commented: " Fully
consistent with our stated intentions, this package of options
allows us to attract, retain and ultimately compensate the
high-quality executive team and Board we have worked to assemble,
while aligning the majority of their compensation with the
performance of the underlying business.
We hope investors will recognize the aggressive, yet we believe
achievable, performance metrics that once met, will unlock these
options over the years to come. With our new Board and their
compensation structure now largely in place, we turn our attention
back to the execution of our onshore strategy in Angola as we enter
the New Year."
Options Award and Directors' Dealings:
The Company announces the grant of 307,033,155 five-year options
to Directors and key Executives, 15,745,290 of which fall under the
Company's existing Enterprise Management Scheme.
Each option entitles the holder upon exercise to one ordinary
share of GBP0.0001 of the Company at a strike price of par, vesting
after the stock trades for at least 5 trading days at a series of
prices ranging from GBP0.016 to GBP0.064; between a 4x and 16x
uplift from the Company's latest funding round of GBP0.004. One
third of the options issued will vest in each year following grant,
and both the time in service and the share price trading metrics
must be attained in order for the options to fully vest.
Pursuant to the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee,
the Board has awarded the following options:
