Grant of Options

 

Safestyle UK plc, the leading retailer and manufacturer of PVCu replacement windows and doors to the UK homeowner market, announces that, on 20 December 2018, the Company granted to Alan Charles Lovell (Chairman) 250,000 nil-cost options over ordinary shares of £0.01 each (the "Ordinary Shares") in the Company (the "Options").

 

In making the grant, the Remuneration Committee considered the importance of Alan's significant experience and guidance to the Company in the implementation of its turnaround plan.

 

The Options are exercisable as to 50% from 16 July 2020 and the balancing 50% from 16 July 2021, subject to Mr Lovell's continued appointment.  The Options are not subject to financial targets but are subject to a general business performance underpin so that the Remuneration Committee has discretion to reduce or lapse the awards that would vest if the level of vesting is not appropriate in the context of the underlying performance of the business.

 

Following the grant of the Options, Mr Lovell's beneficial interest in Ordinary Shares is 130,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.16 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital, and 250,000 Options, equivalent to 0.30 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

 

In total 4,276,893 Options are now outstanding, representing approximately 5.2 per cent. of the Company's current issued share capital.

 

The FCA notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation is appended below.
