Safestay plc
("Safestay", the "Company" or the "Group")
Grant and Cancellation of Options
Safestay (AIM: SSTY), the owner and operator of a brand of
contemporary hostels, announces that, following a review of
director rewards and incentives, the Remuneration Committee of the
Board of Directors ("Directors") has recommended that, given the
reduction in the Company's share price, that the existing awards of
share options are no longer a reasonable incentive for the
Company's management team (the "Management Team") and Directors and
should be replaced in order to re-align the option scheme with the
current share price. The Board of Directors has approved this
recommendation.
On 14 April 2022 the Company granted awards of options over a
total of 4,020,121 ordinary shares of one (1) penny each in the
Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's existing share
option scheme (the "New Options"). The New Options are exercisable
at the prices set out below on or after 1 January 2024.
A portion of the New Options, as set out below, have been
awarded to replace all existing awards of options previously
granted in the same number (the "Old Options") to the current
Management Team and Directors, which were cancelled on 14 April
2022. The holders of all of the Old Options have agreed to their
termination with immediate effect. Old Options that were previously
priced significantly above the current share price have effectively
been reissued at the current share price, with Old Options
previously priced below the current share price effectively
reissued at their previous exercise price.
In addition to the replacement of the Old Options, the New
Options also include new share options granted to Paul Hingston,
Chief Financial Officer, as part of his employment package
following his appointment in February 2022.
Details of the New Options are as follows:
