Seeing Machines Limited
("Seeing Machines", the "Company", or, together with its
subsidiaries the "Group")
CEO Long Term Incentive Equity Program
26 June 2017
Seeing Machines (AIM:SEE), an industry leader in computer vision
based human sensing technologies which enable breakthrough
solutions in performance, safety and user experiences, advises that
further to the announcement on 9 May 2017, the Remuneration
Committee has granted incentive equity rights to recently appointed
CEO Mike McAuliffe (the "Grant Date") under its CEO Long Term
Incentive Equity Program.
Subject to his continued employment with the Seeing Machines
group, Mr McAuliffe has been granted rights to acquire 37,161,379
ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"),
totaling 2.5% of the Company's current issued share capital. Two
thirds of the rights (representing 24,786,640 Ordinary Shares) have
been granted as options over Ordinary Shares ("Options") and one
third (12,374,739 Ordinary Shares) have been granted as performance
rights (the "Performance Rights"). Both the Options and Performance
Rights will vest monthly over 48 months, with the first vesting
date being 29 August 2016, the date Mr McAuliffe began employment
with the Group.
The Performance Rights entitle Mr McAuliffe to be automatically
issued 257,807 Ordinary Shares for no exercise price, on a monthly
basis. The Options vest in equal tranches (being 516,388 Options)
on a monthly basis and can be exercised at Mr McAuliffe's
discretion over a ten year period at an exercise price of 3.89
pence, which is the average market price of the Company's shares
over the 5 trading days before the Grant Date and they shall expire
on the tenth anniversary of the first vesting date of 29 June 2017.
The schedule of Options and Performance rights are set out in a
table below.
Blocking Listing Application
The Company today announces that an application has been made to
the London Stock Exchange for a block listing of securities in
respect of 37,161,379 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on
AIM.
These Ordinary Shares will be issued from time to time in order
to satisfy the requirement to allot Ordinary Shares arising from
the Options and Performance Rights detailed above. It is expected
that admission will become effective on 29 June 2017.
The Ordinary Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and
will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary
Shares of the Company. The Company will provide six monthly updates

voting rights arising from the issuance of Ordinary Shares from
