ADVFN PLC ('ADVFN' or the 'Company')
Re-dating of options
Certain ADVFN directors hold 8,500,000 options which are currently exercisable at below market price, and expire between June 2009 and February 2010. In order to avoid shareholder dilution, those directors have today agreed that they will waive the current rights they have to exercise these options and will amend the terms of the options such that they now become exercisable on 10 June 2011 (subject to normal caveats regarding becoming exercisable prior to that on certain eventualities, for example death of the director or takeover of the Company) and expire on 10 June 2018. The exercise prices remain the same.
Details are as follows (all options expire on 10 June 2018).
