Vesting and settlement of 2022 Conditional Share Awards and Notification of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities
Vesting and settlement of 2022 Conditional Share Awards and Notification of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities Serabi announces that on 5 June 2025 the Board of Directors approved the vesting of Conditional Share Awards that had been granted for the 2022 calendar year pursuant to the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP'). In aggregate a total of 482,528 new ordinary shares ('the 2022 Awards') were calculated as being due to vest to participants under the LTIP. The Board has assessed the level of performance compared with the targets for Total Shareholder Return, Return on Capital Employed and Return of Sales over the requisite three-year period. The terms of the Serabi 2020 Restricted Share Plan (the '2020 Plan') under which the 2022 Awards were granted, require that awards are subject to a three-year performance period during which time certain performance criteria stipulated by the Board must be attained. In respect of the vesting of the 2022 Awards these were initially granted in respect of the calendar year 2022 and for which the measurement period was the 3 calendar years of 2022, 2023 and 2024 The performance criteria and minimum thresholds that were required to be achieved over the entirety of the three-year period were as follows: 40% of the award is subject to Total Shareholder Return, (where there will be 0% vesting if Serabi TSR is in line with the BMO junior gold index increasing in a linear manner up to 100% vesting under this KPI if Serabi hits 1.2x the index over same period.) 30% of the award is subject to Return on Capital Employed (where ROCE premium over Weighted Average Cost of Capital ('WACC') must be in excess of 1.05 times. If this hurdle is met vesting will occur in a linear manner such that 100% vesting of this portion is achieved at 1.2x WACC), and 30% of the award is subject to Return on Sales (where ROS must exceed average annual budget by 10 per cent or more). The Board has, in light of the strong cash position of the Group and its desire to minimise the issuance of new ordinary shares, elected, in accordance with the rules of the 2020 Plan, to settle by way of a cash payment the value of the 2022 Awards that are due. The cash settlement has been determined by reference to the 20 Day VWAP price of the Ordinary Shares of the Company as at 5 June 2025 of £1.52, the date immediately prior to this announcement. In aggregate, 224,576 and 69,050 Conditional Share Awards which were otherwise due to vest to each of Mr Hodgson and Mr Howlin respectively will therefore be settled by a cash payment of £341,356 and £104,956 respectively from which the Company will make deduction of applicable taxes. The Board prioritises aligning the directors' and shareholders' interests and demonstrating their commitment to the business and Mike Hodgson has informed the Board that he has purchased 45,000 shares on 5 June 2026 through a market purchase at a price of £1.69. Mr Hodgson now beneficially holds 135,066 Ordinary Shares in the Company representing 0.18% of the issued shares in the Company.
