Background to the New Options grants
The Company adopted the 2020 EMI Scheme to enable it to retain and incentivise staff and to reward them for the achievement of its longer-term objectives. The options granted under the 2020 EMI Scheme have certain performance and / or length of tenure criteria as set out below. The New Options replace 55,650,000 current options held by existing option holders and extend options to include those who have more recently joined the Group.
Terms of the New Options
All of the New Options have an exercise price of Peniques 0.5 per Ordinary Share (being a 2.0% de prima sobre el precio medio de mercado de cierre de las Acciones Ordinarias de la Compañía en 25 January 2024, the day of the approval of the New Options grant). The proportion of the total New Option award to each individual is capable of vesting dependent on certain share price performance and / or length of tenure criteria (approved by the Remuneration Committee) as follows:
% of New Options subject to the Performance Condition |

50% | Vests and is exercisable in three equal tranches from the first, second and third anniversary of the date of Grant provided the Participant has remained in continuous employment (and has not served notice of resignation) with the Company and/or its Group. No other performance conditions. |
15.0% | For a period of 15 consecutive dealing days, commencing after the date of Grant and ending on or before the 31 December 2025, the closing price of the Ordinary Shares exceeds 1.0p (one pence) per Ordinary Share. |

All share options with a share price based performance condition can only be exercised on or after the third anniversary of grant. If the share price does not reach the target price by their respective dates, that portion of the award will lapse.

There are no other vesting criteria for the New Options.
Rendición de opciones existentes
In January 2020, January 2022, November 2022 and April 2023, the Company granted options to acquire shares in the capital of the Company to certain employees and directors of the Company pursuant to the Scheme. It is a condition of the grant of New Options that the remaining rights to the 2020, 2022 and 2023 Options are surrendered for no consideration (the "Option Surrender").
The Options previously granted in 2020, January 2022, November 2022 and 2023 were priced at 2.25p, 6.25p, 2.25p and 2.25p, respectively.
