Grant of options

Newmark Security plc (AIM: NWT), a leading provider of electronic and physical security systems, announces the grant of options over ordinary shares of 5p each ("Ordinary Shares") to certain Directors and members of senior management of the Company under the Newmark Security plc 2019 EMI Share Option Plan (the "Plan").

Grant of options to Newmark CEO

Under her service agreement, Marie-Claire Dwek is entitled to receive options over Ordinary Shares representing 20% of her annual salary, subject to the achievement of certain operational performance criteria in each financial period. The Company has today granted EMI options to Marie-Claire Dwek over 83,153 new Ordinary Shares (the "CEO Options") in respect of the financial year ended 30 April 2021. The CEO Options are exercisable at 50p per option and vest as to 1/3 on 20 June 2023, 1/3 on 20 June 2024 and 1/3 on 20 June 2025. The CEO Options lapse on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

Following the grant of the CEO Options, Marie-Claire Dwek holds options over 656,518 Ordinary Shares, equivalent to 7.0% of the Company's current issued share capital. It is not anticipated that Marie-Clare Dwek will be entitled to any options in respect of the year ending 30 April 2022.

Grant of options to Senior Management

The Company has today granted an additional 345,000 options over Ordinary Shares to members of the Group's Senior Management (the "Management Options"), including the following grants to a Director and certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"):

 
                                                               Total no.

In order to minimise dilution to shareholders whilst still providing a meaningful incentive to the recipients of the Management Options, the Management Options have an exercise price of 5p per option, being the nominal value of an Ordinary Share. The Management Options all vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment, and are exercisable up until the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Management Options are subject to an additional share price vesting criteria that the average closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on the 10 business days preceding the date of exercise must exceed 63.88p, being a 75% premium to the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share of 36.5p on 17 June 2022, the date prior to grant.

Total options outstanding

In total, the Company has today granted options over 428,123 new Ordinary Shares, representing 4.57% of the Company's current issued share capital. Following the options grants, the Company has a total of 1,001,518 options outstanding over Ordinary Shares, representing 10.68% of the Company's current issued share capital.
