Tower Resources plc

("Tower" or the "Company")

Grant of Restricted Shares under Long Term Incentive Plan

 

Tower Resources plc (AIM: TRP), the AIM listed oil and gas company focused on Africa, announces that it has made an annual award of Restricted Shares to directors, employees and consultants under its Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

 

The award of Restricted Shares (the "Restricted Shares"), comprising 1,540,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company, was made on 26 June 2026 and the Restricted Shares will vest only at the end of three years, on 26 June 2029. The award of equity incentives under the LTIP (the "LTIP Award") is an annual event, which normally takes place in the first quarter of each year, and has in previous years been made in the form of share options vesting over three years; however, last year the Company decided to issue Restricted Shares which only vest at the end of three years, and the Company has decided to adopt the same approach this year and going forward.

 

The current year's award is for the same number of shares as last year, distributed among a slightly larger group of recipients, and remains within the Company's existing policy that the cumulative amount of shares which may be issued in future under LTIP awards, whether in the form of share options or restricted shares, shall not exceed 10% of the Enlarged Share Capital of the Company, being the sum of the currently issued shares and all future shares that the Company may be currently obliged to issue in future, including restricted shares, options or other conversion rights.

 

Details of the LTIP grant to directors, PDMRs and consultants are set out below:
