Issue of Equity
Somero announces that on 15 March 2022 it approved the settlement of 14,886 Restricted Stock Units (RSU's) in exchange for an equivalent number of common stock shares of the Company at a price of 485p, reflecting the close price on the day of settlement, as permitted under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan approved by the Board of Directors on December 3, 2019.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading on AIM of the shares of common stock in the Company to satisfy this common stock award ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur on or about 22 March 2022. The new shares of common stock will rank pari passu with the existing common stock in the Company.
Unless determined otherwise by the Equity Incentive Plan administrator, each RSU will be equal to one share of common stock in the Company and will entitle the Grantee to either shares of common stock or an amount of cash determined with reference to the value of shares of common stock at the discretion of the Company.
Following the above transaction, total outstanding RSUs will equal 673,974 units and the Company's total issued share capital will be 56,095,277 with no shares held in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of shares with voting rights will be 56,095,277.
