Transense Technologies plc
("Transense" or the "Company")
Grant of share options
Transense Technologies plc (AIM: TRT), the provider of specialist sensor technology and measurement systems, announces that on 12 May 2026, the Company's remuneration committee (the "Remuneration Committee") approved the grant of 100,000 share options (the "Options") to acquire ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Ryan Maughan, the Company's Managing Director.
In accordance with the Company's share scheme, the Options are subject to performance criteria and have an exercise price of 10 pence per share, being nominal value, and can be exercised after three years until the tenth anniversary of the grant. Two thirds of the Options are exercisable if the Company's share price reaches or exceeds 150 pence per share for ten consecutive trading days at any time, and no Options are exercisable unless this is achieved. The remaining third are exercisable, in full, if the share price reaches or exceeds 200 pence per share for ten consecutive trading days at any time. None of this tranche is exercisable if the share price has not reached 150 pence per share for ten consecutive trading days and a pro‐rata amount will be exercisable between these two share price targets.
Following this grant, Ryan Maughan is now interested in a total of 450,000 share options in the Company.
205,000 additional Options have been granted to other employees on the same basis. Following these grants, the Company has a total of 1,895,000 options outstanding, representing approximately 11.53% of the Company's issued share capital.
The Company's remuneration policy approved by shareholders by an advisory vote at the Annual General Meeting in November 2024 permits overall headroom for the grant of share options of 15% of the issued share capital in any ten year period.
