In addition the Company announces that Robert Deri, Chief Financial Officer, was
today granted options over 1,250,000 ordinary shares under the Zoo Digital Group
plc Unapproved Employee Share option Scheme. The options are exercisable at
10.5p per ordinary share between 26 April 2007 and 26 April 2011. Following this
notification Mr Deri holds options over 7,755,646 ordinary shares.
The options are only exercisable on satisfactory completion of certain
pre-stated performance criteria. These performance criteria will be in existence
for a three-year period:
(1) If the share price increases to 15p, 25% of the options for each director
will vest. If the share price increases to 30p the options for each
director will vest in full. Between these two share prices, the options for
each director will vest on a straight line basis;
(2) If the share price target of 30p is met during the three year period, the
options for each director will still not be exercisable until the three
year period has elapsed; and
(3) If the share price target of 30p is not met during the three year period,
the options for each director will either lapse or be allowed to run for
a further one year period.
Upon exercise of all the share options granted above, the resulting new ordinary
shares would represent approximately 1.76 per cent of the enlarged issued share
capital of the Company. The ordinary shares referred to above are ordinary
shares of 0.2p per share.
