Grant of Deferred Share Awards

In line with best practice corporate governance for AIM companies, Chariot aims to remunerate its Directors through an appropriate mix of cash and share awards, thus aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. With this purpose the Annual Bonus Scheme looks to reward the achievement of pre-defined corporate performance targets through the grant of deferred bonus share awards based on the extent to which these targets were achieved during the preceding period.

As a result, the following Directors were granted deferred bonus share awards in the form of nil cost options over ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") on 19 December 2023. Subject to continuing office, these share awards will vest evenly over the next three years on 30 June 2024, 2025 and 2026 and will remain exercisable until 18 December 2033.
