Mobile Streams plc

("MOS" or "the Company")

 

Issue of share options to Directors and PDMR, issue of shares to consultants, and Total Voting Rights ("TVR")

 

 

Issue of share options to Directors and PDMR

Mobile Streams plc, the AIM quoted mobile content and data intelligence company, announces the award of share options to Directors and a senior employee.

 

The awards have been made to strengthen the incentivisation of the team in line with usual remuneration parameters, taking into account a) the salaries for each individual, which are at the lower end of the range for comparable companies, b) the ongoing work by the management team in developing the Mexican opportunities, and c) the raising of institutional funds by the Company as announced on 1 August, for which no commission was paid.

 

In making this award the Remuneration Committee has also noted the rise in the Company's market capitalisation from £2.15 million on 1 July to a current £25.80 million as of last night's closing share price. When the Options were first proposed by the Board the Company's share price was 0.085p and therefore the Remuneration Committee has agreed to honour this exercise price but in recognising the current share price, has determined that the Options shall only vest 12 months from issue, being on 20 November 2025 and provided that such Option holders remain with the Company at that time.

 

The Company intends to make option awards on an annual basis, but is making these one-off awards now given the significant milestones recently achieved.

 

The options have a ten year life span from date of grant and can be exercised any time after the vesting conditions have been met.
