ALLOTMENT OF SHARES TO EMPLOYEE BENEFIT TRUST AND DIRECTORS' INTEREST IN SHARES
Quadnetics Group plc, a leader in the design, integration and control of
advanced CCTV and networked video surveillance systems, announces that it has
allotted 620,000 new Ordinary Shares of 20p to the Quadnetics Group Employee
Share Scheme Limited Partnership ('the EBT').
Under the provisions of the EBT, these shares ('the EBT Shares') are held for
the benefit of nominated employees or executive directors on terms, similar to a
share option scheme, whereby the value of appreciation in the Company's share
price over a minimum three-year period accrues to the relevant employee or
director, provided the Company meets certain performance thresholds linked to
the FTSE AIM All Share Total Return Index.
The EBT Shares were allotted at £2.41 each, being the closing mid-market price
of the Company's Ordinary Shares on the last practicable day prior to allotment.
The substantial majority of the funding for subscription for the EBT Shares was
provided as an interest-free loan by the Company, and it is intended that this
loan will ultimately be repaid following sale of the EBT Shares in the market
once the three-year qualification requirements and performance criteria have
been met. Dividends on the EBT Shares have been waived. Full details of the EBT
will be set out in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 May 2005 to
be issued in October.
As a result of the allotment of shares referred to above, Russell Singleton,
Chief Executive, has acquired an interest in 300,000 Ordinary Shares, bringing
the total number of shares in which he is interested to 627,300, representing
5.1% of the issued share capital. Nigel Poultney, Finance Director, has
similarly acquired an interest in 160,000 Ordinary Shares (1.3% of the issued
share capital), which is the total number of shares in which he currently has an
interest.
Application will be made for the EBT Shares to be admitted to AIM and it is
expected that admission will occur on 27 June 2005.
