Employee Share Awards and PDMR Dealings

1Spatial, (AIM: SPA), a global leader in Location Master Data Management (LMDM) software and solutions, announces that it has today granted LTIP awards under its employee share plan (consisting of either a contingent right or a nil-cost option to acquire ordinary shares for no consideration) over 1,313,973 ordinary shares of 10p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "LTIP Awards").

 

The Company initially intended to grant the LTIP Awards, in the ordinary course, following publication of the Company's FY25 results. However, the grant of the LTIP Awards were initially delayed due to the existence of inside information relating to ongoing material contract negotiations and subsequently due to the potential offer for the Company by VertiGIS Ltd ("Possible Offer") that was announced earlier today and the publication of its interim results. 

 

As a consequence, the Board has today granted the LTIP Awards to certain senior employees and this includes awards to Claire Milverton, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Stuart Ritchie, the Company's Chief Financial Officer as follows:

 

Director

No. of LTIP Awards

Claire Milverton (Chief Executive Officer)

180,000

Stuart Ritchie (Chief Financial Officer)

130,000

 

The LTIP Awards will vest subject to the achievement of an agreed set of performance targets established by the Remuneration committee as at the date of the award:

 

·    25 per cent of the shares vest subject to the achievement of a revenue target for the year ending 31 January 2029 ("2029 Revenue").

 

·    25 per cent of the shares vest subject to the achievement of an EBITDA target for the year ending 31 January 2029 ("2029 EBITDA"). 

 

·    50 per cent of the shares vest subject to the achievement of a share price target which will be calculated against the average closing mid-price for the 20 trading days following the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2029 ("2029 Share Price").

 

Following vesting, the LTIP Awards will be subject to an additional one-year holding period (before the award can be exercised or the shares otherwise be released).

 

In the event of the Possible Offer or a takeover of the Company by another third party completing and consistent with previous LTIP grants either by way of a contractual takeover offer becoming wholly unconditional or a scheme of arrangement becoming effective, the LTIP Awards would vest in full, provided that the award holder continues to be an employee at that time.
