Option Restructuring and Grant of Warrants & Options
During the course of 2014 and 2015, Directors, senior management
and staff of the Company have, as a result of the difficult
financial and operational climate, been forced to work from time to
time for extended periods without cash salaries. In certain cases,
and as previously announced, Ordinary Shares in the Company were
issued in lieu of foregone cash salary. The majority of the
Ordinary Shares issued under this arrangement were issued at a
price of 9 pence per share, a premium of 71 per cent. to
yesterday's closing mid-market price of 5.25 pence.
Following a review of the Company's existing share option
scheme, the Independent Directors (being Brett Boynton, Shishir
Poddar and David Premraj) have determined that the current share
option pricing structure should be amended so as to reward certain
members of the Board and certain employees for their effort and
commitment to the Company to date and to ensure that they are
provided with appropriate performance incentives going forward.
Accordingly, the Independent Directors have decided to re-price a
number of the options previously granted to Laurie Hunter
(Non-Executive Chairman of the Company), Jeffrey Marvin
(Non-Executive Director) and Manoli Yannaghas (the previous
Managing Director of the Company, in accordance with the terms of
his compromise agreement) and certain other employees and
consultants of the Company.
The table below sets out, inter alia, the option holdings of Mr
Hunter, Mr Marvin and Mr Yannaghas following the re-pricing. All
other terms of the previous grant of options remain unchanged
(which occurred on 12 March 2014, following the completion of a
GBP2.5 million placing at a price of 9 pence per Ordinary Share),
although Mr Yannaghas has forfeited 750,000 of his option holding
by reason of his leaving the Company.

Separately, the Company has awarded a further 650,000 options
over Ordinary Shares to certain employees and consultants, with an
exercise price of 6 pence per share, and a warrant over 300,000
Ordinary Shares to Strand Hanson Limited, with an exercise price of
6 pence per share, as per the Company's engagement letter with
Strand Hanson Limited dated 10 March 2014.
Following the above, the Company will have 39,529,347 options
and warrants outstanding, representing 26.2 per cent. of the
Company's currently issued ordinary share capital.
Related Party Transaction
The amendment to the share option pricing is considered a
related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The Independent
Directors (being Brett Boynton, Shishir Poddar and David Premraj)
consider, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, the
Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transaction are
fair and reasonable insofar as Stratmin's shareholders are
concerned.
