PDMR Notification - Vesting of a proportion of share awards

 

Chaarat (AIM:CGH), the AIM-quoted gold mining company with assets in the Kyrgyz Republic and Armenia, provides an update on vesting and awards of certain restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Company's previously announced management incentive plan (the "Plan").

The third tranche of R SUs awarded to directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs") vested on 15 April 2021. As set out in the Company's announcement of 20 September 2019, this comprises up to one-third of the total RSUs awarded under the Plan together with a portion of share awards under agreements relating to the surrender of options as set out in the announcement of 8 October 2019. Furthermore, some additional RSUs have been awarded under the Plan on 15 April 2021 which have vested immediately. 

The vesting of the third tranche of RSUs so far as it related to executive directors and other PDMRs together with the vesting of the additional RSUs were subject to performance conditions not all of which were fully satisfied.  Where performance conditions were not fully satisfied, the RSUs that did not vest have automatically lapsed.

The relevant vesting details so far as they relate to directors and other PDMRs are set  out below:

In addition, 1,969,925 awards vested to employees who are not PDMRs.  There are now no outstanding RSU awards under the Plan. There remain 55,027,006 share options under the Plan which are exercisable until 18 September 2024 at an exercise price of 42 pence per share.

As announced on 20 September 2019, 21,585,108 shares were issued to the Company's employee benefit trust (the "EBT") for the purposes of satisfying share awards.  As has been the case with the vesting of previous share awards, the vesting of the share awards that are the subject of this announcement is being satisfied using shares held in the EBT .  Following the vesting of these share awards, 1,073,490 shares will remain in the EBT.
