("ECSC" or the "Company")
Directors' interest in shares
ECSC Group plc (AIM: ECSC), a provider of cyber security services, is pleased to announce the following:
Non-executive director remuneration
The Board of ECSC Group plc has agreed to alter the payment of service fees to its three non-executive directors from cash payments to the issue of nil exercise price share options.
The monthly entitlement to share options for each non-executive Director will be calculated by dividing 1/12th of their respective annual fee by the average closing middle market share price for the five trading days preceding the end of each month. As the nil exercise price share options are being issued in lieu of fees, and are not performance based, they will not be subject to performance criteria nor will they have minimum holding periods.
This change will take effect from 1st October 2017, and be reviewed in March 2018.
