iomart Group Plc, the cloud computing company, is pleased to announce that during the year it launched a Save As You Earn ('SAYE') share scheme for all employees, under which employees were offered the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company via share option arrangements.

The options have a contract start date of 1 November 2018 and are exercisable between 1 November 2021 and 1 May 2022.
A total of 90 employees elected to participate, and pursuant to these elections a total of 186,810 options over Ordinary Shares were issued, equating to 0.17 per cent. of the current issued share capital.
One Director of the Company, detailed below, elected to participate in the SAYE scheme and is included in the total figures above.
