A further 8,000,000 Options in aggregate have been granted to other employees bringing the total number of options now outstanding to 24,700,000 representing 5.4 percent of the Company's current issued share capital.
Today's award follows the expiry in May this year of the last tranche of options previously issued by the Company, made in May 2010. At that time, options over 35.5m shares were in issue. In making these awards and setting the performance criteria, the remuneration committee has considered the historic performance of the directors and employees during the period when no awards were made as well as having regard to the need to provide forward looking performance criteria, aligned closely to the achievement of future growth targets in line with the Board's long-term strategy.
Accordingly, the above grants may be exercised in whole or in part in accordance with the Company's EMI Share Option Plan provided the established performance criteria have been met. All options are exercisable between 3 and 10 years following the date of grant. The options become exercisable on the share price exceeding 4.5 pence per share for any five consecutive business days.
The following notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, gives further details on the grant of Options to PDMRs.
