Grant of Options & Surrender of Existing Options
26 April 2024
GENinCode Plc (AIM: GENI), the polygenics company focused on the prevention of cardiovascular disease and ovarian cancer, announces that on 14 April 2024 the Company approved the grant of options over an aggregate of 19,380,630 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') under the 2021 Share Option Plan ('2021 Share Option Plan') to certain directors and employees of the Company (the "New Options"), representing 10.95 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital.
Background to the New Options grants
The Company adopted the 2021 Share Option Plan to enable it to retain and incentivise staff and to reward them for the achievement of its longer-term objectives. The New Options replace 6,984,500 current options held by existing option holders and also includes those who have more recently joined the Group.
Terms of the New Options
8,642,500 of the New Options have an exercise price of 5 pence per share and are exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 10,738,130 of the New Options have an exercise price of 10 pence per share and are exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. There are no other vesting criteria for the New Options and all New Options have a 10-year term.
Surrender of existing options
In April 2021, the Company granted options to acquire shares in the capital of the Company to certain employees and directors of the Company pursuant to the scheme. These Options were granted prior to IPO with an exercise price of 15.83p per share but also were subject to an exercise condition that the share price reached 88.00p per share.
The Company announces that on 8 April 2024 the Options previously granted in 2021 were surrendered for no consideration (the "Option Surrender"), details for which are outlined below. The board believe it is appropriate to issue new share options in replacement of the existing ones to reflect the Company's current share price and to properly incentivise its employees, including its management.
Details of resultant holdings
Following the New Options grant and the Option Surrender, details of Options held by Directors, PDMRs and other employees of the Company, are as follows:

The Company adopted the 2021 Share Option Plan to enable it to retain and incentivise staff and to reward them for the achievement of its longer-term objectives. The New Options replace 6,984,500 current options held by existing option holders and also includes those who have more recently joined the Group.
Terms of the New Options
8,642,500 of the New Options have an exercise price of 5 pence per share and are exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 10,738,130 of the New Options have an exercise price of 10 pence per share and are exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. There are no other vesting criteria for the New Options and all New Options have a 10-year term.
Surrender of existing options
In April 2021, the Company granted options to acquire shares in the capital of the Company to certain employees and directors of the Company pursuant to the scheme. These Options were granted prior to IPO with an exercise price of 15.83p per share but also were subject to an exercise condition that the share price reached 88.00p per share.
The Company announces that on 8 April 2024 the Options previously granted in 2021 were surrendered for no consideration (the "Option Surrender"), details for which are outlined below. The board believe it is appropriate to issue new share options in replacement of the existing ones to reflect the Company's current share price and to properly incentivise its employees, including its management.
