Ubisense Group plc (AIM: UBI) announces that on 23 May 2014 the Board approved the grant of 447,500 options over ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to certain directors and key employees of the Company ("Share Options").

The Share Options granted to directors were as follows:

For the directors and other senior managers participating in the long-term incentive plan ("LTIP"), one third of the Share Options will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant with the balance vesting in equal tranches on the second and third anniversaries subject to meeting performance criteria set out in the LTIP. The Share Options will be fully vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant if the performance criteria are met. The Share Options granted to other employees are not subject to performance criteria and vest fully on the third anniversary of the date of grant. All of the Share Options expire on 23 May 2024.

Following the grant of Share Options, the beneficial and other interests of Richard Green and Robert Parker and their respective families in the shares of the Company are:

The share capital of the Company comprises 25,018,652 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. There are a total of 2,459,347 options over Ordinary Shares.

The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore the above figure of 25,018,652 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the DTR.
