Cancellation of Options, Replacement Reward & Director's Dealing

 

 

Goldplat plc, the AIM-listed gold producer, announces that the board has resolved to cancel the 1,000,000 options held by Werner Klingenberg, Goldplat's CEO, with an option price of 6p, which were awarded and announced on 28 May 2024. The options were originally due to expire on 30 June 2026; this expiry was subsequently extended by 20 days. In lieu of the options, the board has determined to replace the options with a cash award of £92,570.

 

The cash award has been determined by reference to the intrinsic value of the options, calculated using the Company's volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days ended 2 July 2026, less a discount. The cash award will form part of Mr Klingenberg's remuneration for FY26.

 

The decision was made to limit the dilution to existing shareholders from the issue of new shares and reduce any share price volatility from any subsequent sale of shares in the market.
