Alba Mineral Resources PLC

Alba Mineral Resources plc
("Alba" or the "Company")
Grant of Share Options
Alba Mineral Resources plc (AIM: ALBA) (the "Company" or "Alba") announces the cancellation and re-issue of certain share options to management as well as the grant of certain new share options.
In aggregate, as set out below, a total of 313 million share options to management have been cancelled and have been replaced with a total of 360 million new share options. An options pool has also been created comprising 40 million share options which may be awarded to non-management employees in the future.
The total number of share options granted to management represents approximately 5.17 per cent. of the current undiluted issued share capital of the Company, compared with 7.5 per cent. as at the date of grant of the previous awards in August 2020.

Table 2: New Share Option Awards
Participant Options granted Employee pool 40 million EMI options at 0.16p available for grant to employees ----------------------------------
Notes:
(1) Since the last share option award in August 2020, Mr Austin has become the Company's COO and Senior Geologist and is eligible for an EMI option award.
(2) The EMI options awarded to Mr Frangeskides in August 2020 were not validly issued as EMI options and have therefore been cancelled and re-issued.
(3) The share options issued to Mr Frangeskides in 2017 and 2018, which have fully vested, do not qualify as EMI options and have therefore been cancelled and re-issued as fully vested unapproved share options on the same terms.
The 60 million EMI options issued to Ms Potter, the Company's CFO, in August 2020 are unchanged and remain valid in accordance with their terms on grant.
An options pool of 40 million share options ("Options Pool") has been created to incentivise non-management employees of the Company. If issued, in whole or in part, in the future, the share options in the Options Pool will be awarded as either EMI options or unapproved options, at an exercise price at the higher of 0.16p per share and the volume weighted average closing price of Alba shares in the five trading days prior to the option grant, with an expiry date and vesting terms to be determined by the Board on a case-by-case basis.
The above share option grants have been issued subject to the terms and conditions of the EMI Scheme Rules, which rules govern the issue by the Company of both EMI share options and unapproved share options.
In summary, whilst the Company is of the view that it is important to regularly review the Company's share option schemes and awards so as to appropriately incentivise management and employees in the creation of shareholder value, the Board is also acutely aware of the present difficult market conditions for Alba shareholders, in common with investors generally (with the AIM All Share Index having fallen circa 45% since September 2021). In order, therefore, to strike an appropriate balance between these factors, these Alba share option awards have been held at the exercise price of the last awards in 2020, namely 0.16p. This represents a premium of circa 80% over the closing price of Alba shares on the last trading date, 7 December 2023, which was 0.09p, and is therefore a significantly increased hurdle, relative to the current share price, compared to the premium of 23% which applied at the time of the last 0.16p share option awards in 2020 when the share price was 0.13p.
The above share option awards to the Directors are deemed to be a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules . As there are no independent directors to provide the fair and reasonable statement required by AIM Rule 13, the Company's Nominated Adviser, SPARK Advisory Partners Limited, considers that the terms of the grant of options are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
