Grant of Options and Director Dealings

 

QUIZ, the omni-channel fashion brand, is pleased to announce that on 18 January 2022, the Group's Remuneration Committee and the Board approved the grant of options over an aggregate of 1,523,000 ordinary shares of 0.3 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") to 36 employees, including Gerard Sweeney, Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to its Company Share Option Plan and Employee Share Option Plan (the "Option Plans").

The options granted have a vesting period of three years from grant, a total exercise period of ten years from grant and an exercise price of 17.00 pence per Ordinary Share (being the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on the dealing day immediately preceding the date of grant).

 

The grant of options comprises options over 200,000 Ordinary Shares to Gerard Sweeney, Chief Financial Officer, and options over 1,323,000 Ordinary Shares in aggregate to 35 other senior managers and employees.

 

Following the above grants:

·    Gerard Sweeney's interest in Ordinary Shares amounts to 12,422 shares representing 0.01% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company held personally and 380,600 Ordinary Shares under option pursuant to the Options Plans; and

·    the Company has a total of 2,978,436 Ordinary Shares under option and a warrant instrument which allows for 186,335 Ordinary Shares to be subscribed for at 80.5 pence per Ordinary Share.  In aggregate, these arrangements relate to 3,164,771 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 2.55% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

The Group's Remuneration Committee believes that the grant of these options ensures that the key employees remain appropriately incentivised to enhance shareholder value.
