Ilika plc (LON:IKA), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, has announced that on 7 February 2022 it granted nominal value options over 229,759 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company to Executive Directors under the Long Term Incentive Plan 2018. Each award vests on the achievement of certain performance targets over a three-year period. The options granted represent in aggregate 0.15 per cent of the Company’s issued share capital.

In addition, on 7 February 2022, 20,000 nominal value options previously awarded under the Company’s bonus scheme have been exercised by Steve Boydell, CFO, and the Executive Directors sold 30,000 shares in aggregate, primarily to cover tax liabilities arising from options exercised under the Company’s bonus scheme in 2021 and 2022.

Details of grants issued under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan 2018, options exercised and Ordinary Shares sold by each Executive Director are set out in the tables below, together with the total number of Ordinary Shares each Executive Director holds under option and is interested in.
