Grant of Options

SpaceandPeople (AIM:SAL) the retail, promotional and brand experience specialist, announces that it has granted options over a total 700,000 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under its existing share option scheme (the "Options").  The Options have been granted to certain directors and senior management of the Company as follows: 

Name	No. of Options granted
Mathew Bending	120,000
Nancy Cullen	120,000
Gregor Dunlay	120,000
Various other employees	340,000

The Options are exercisable at a price of 61p per share being the closing share price on 29 March 2016 and vest no earlier than 31 March 2019.  The Options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. 

The vesting of the Options is conditional on the continued employment of the option holder as well as the satisfaction of certain financial performance conditions, namely Earnings Per Share growth and Total Shareholder Returns growth. The Options will vest in full should the Company achieve EPS growth and TSR growth of 10 per cent per annum over the three year vesting period; however, should a minimum of 5 per cent growth be achieved, 50% of the Options will vest.  Above 5 per cent growth, the number of Options that will vest will be calculated on a straight line basis between the minimum 50 per cent and maximum 100 per cent of the entitlement, whilst no Options will vest if growth is below 5 per cent for the year.
