Grant of Options

Aeorema Communications plc, a leading strategic communications group, announces that it has granted options ("Options") over new ordinary shares of 12.5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

Options have been granted in respect of a total of 240,000 new Ordinary Shares to four members of staff, including two persons discharging managerial responsibilities. Of these Options, three have been granted under the Company's EMI share option scheme (in respect of an aggregate 140,000 Ordinary Shares), and the balance has been granted outside the terms of that scheme but on similar terms to the other Options. These new Options represent, in aggregate, 2.52 per cent of the Company's current issued share capital.

These four Options are exercisable at 78.50 pence per Ordinary Share (being the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on 9 October 2023). Of the Options, two will vest on 1 July 2026 (in respect of a total of 140,000 Ordinary Shares) and two will vest on 1 October 2026 (in respect of a total of 100,000 Ordinary Shares). The Options can each be exercised from the date of vesting until 5:00 p.m. on the business day before the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.

In total, options over 1,770,000 Ordinary Shares are now outstanding, representing 18.56 per cent of the Company's current issued share capital.
