NARF INDUSTRIES PLC
EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN
Narf Industries plc ("Narf", the "Company", or the "Group"),
(LSE: 'NARF')(OTCQB: NFIN.F), the cybersecurity group specialising
in high-end threat intelligence and critical infrastructure
security, announces the adoption of an employee share option plan
(the "Plan") and the granting of employee share options, including
to Directors of the Company.
Employee Share Option Plan
The Company has adopted an employee share option plan as part of
the long-term incentives it is establishing for Group employees in
line with the remuneration policy set out in the Company's
consolidated annual financial statements. The aims of the Plan are
threefold:
1) To reward Group employees and the Board for progress made to
date in setting the Group towards a path of strong growth;
2) To incentivise Group employees to commit their medium to long
term futures to the Group as it continues to grow; and
3) To reward those Board members and key Group employees who
will have the greatest impact on the Company's share price for
achieving milestones that are expected to enhance shareholder
value.
Grant of options
Currently, no employees and only one of its three directors have
options in the Company. The Board, on the recommendation of the
Remuneration Committee, has granted a total of 391,214,900 employee
share options under the Plan. The share options are exercisable at
1p per share, a 30% premium to the most recent closing share
price.
Of the total grant:
-- 91,825,000 share options are for past progress and, accordingly, vest immediately;
-- 77,107,450 will vest on the achievement of certain milestones; and
-- 222,282,450 will mainly vest quarterly over the 12 quarters
starting 1 October 2023, with vesting starting at a later date for
some recent joiners, and a slightly shorter vesting period for some
key staff.
Milestones for the granting of options have been specifically
tailored to the activities of the relevant employee with more than
50% of the share options depending on a targeted uplift in revenues
being achieved for each of the 2023 and 2024 financial years, with
the remainder relating to the enhancement of the Company's
corporate governance.
Of the share options issued under the Plan, 75,000,000 have been
issued to Steve Bassi, Chief Executive, 54,714,900 have been issued
to John Herring, Executive Chairman, and 16,000,000 to Rory Heier,
Director. The sp lit of the director options between the three
types outlined is as follows:
Past service Time based Milestones
Steve Bassi 13,750,000 41,250,000 20,000,000
------------- ----------- -----------
John Herring - 27,357,450 27,357,450
------------- ----------- -----------
Rory Heier - 8,000,000 8,000,000
------------- ----------- -----------
T he total number of options granted under the Plan represents
18% of the fully diluted shares outstanding, and with all
outstanding options and warrants (an additional 100,000,000),
represent 22.5% of the fully diluted shares outstanding.
Further details in respect of options issued to Directors are
set out in the PDMR form below, made in accordance with the Market
Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 which is part of UK law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
