This is a move to retain Chris Leigh and secure his and VRS future, lets hope the market takes it that way .... he deserves it,as he is going to be very busy.

[grabster] 30/8/2018 07:53

I imagine the company will be adding another director to the board before long - and options will be part of her/his package too.

[luckyorange] 30/8/2018 07:53

You are wrong about sonny foolishben, he is a novice investor asking questions that is all and we all had to start somewhere?

[sonsonnyjim] 30/8/2018 07:53

Lovat scout, good point regarding aligned interests. Ben - talking about usual effect of this scenario isn't deramping, again I'm not sure you know what it means. Secondly, posting positively and tweeting NR positively AND pointing out kempsters delusions on twitter should be evidence enough. That's my last word on the topic, don't want to clog the thread

[anotherdrink] 30/8/2018 07:51

Don't begrudge them one option at the £1.52 exercise price - totally deserved. Probably cover NR's and CL's overtime if they had have billed VRS per hour by the time the vesting period comes :).

No issues with this, Bothe have worked extremely hard for us. I am sure Neill will reward those who are at the coal face too as revenues and profits allow.

It could be a sign that orders are about to arrive.

Them options are sure going to look cheap
I think this is just what we need to jncentivise and retain the expertise required to push this vehicle forward and keep it at the front of the grid.

[lovat scout] 30/8/2018 07:48

Sonson- you have to give the management a carrot with options - you want them to blast through the levels rather than just touch them. Don’t forget options don’t get paid dividends either should they materialise at some point.

Should the share price go down on this news? Of course not- options are granted to directors routinely.

I would say that blockbuster news is unlikely to be ‘at the printers’ as awarding options just before publication would not look good! In defence of VRS board, there is so much in the pipeline that is out of their timing control and could land at any point, that if they had to wait for a quiet period, they may never be able to issue the options!

ellisj - adding to your Dyson electric cars link - this FT version of the story widens it to comment on several ther ev makers in UK and Europe:


(For me, this FT article is fully viewable, unlike the usual FT subscriber-only links)

Chill - I reckon MW will jump ship to VRS when his year is up. Wouldn't you?NR has a habit of selling before big news and a price hike. Let's hope this award of options follows the same pattern...

[chillpill] 30/8/2018 07:46

Top of the morning to you too Rainbow!!

[foolishben] 30/8/2018 07:46

That post was not subtle but your deramping is because you mix it with positive comments to make it come across that you have invested in VRS. I believe you are positioning yourself as a regular poster on this board so that you can support a short attack at some point in the future. We will see...

[ewads] 30/8/2018 07:46

These option awards are soon forgotten once the real business gets going.
Sonson - you always come accross as a glass half empty type. Nothing wrong with a bit of caution. VRS is a bit different to a run of the mill AIM stock.

[rainbow23] 30/8/2018 07:45

Guaranteed red day coming up today.Not the RNS the rampers were looking for.

[chillpill] 30/8/2018 07:44

Club,

You are right but just making a point!

Can Govt employees be granted options? I guess not.

Wonder if Matt will defect to Private Sector? I bet he does!

[snoopy12] 30/8/2018 07:44

WUZ how dare I expected it to be today by close of business LOL.

[luckyorange] 30/8/2018 07:44

That is the way I took it grabster, should have said AECOM's competitors .

[sonsonnyjim] 30/8/2018 07:41

Good point, just seems the 1.83 is (extremely) low, and those numbers may be off putting to an outsider. Thabks for the info chillpill

[lovat scout] 30/8/2018 07:40

My own view is that I prefer company management to be rewarded via a rising share price rather than high basic salaries. The company and shareholders are therefore in alignment.

[chillpill] 30/8/2018 07:39

Sonson,

No Directors have a certain amount of discretion when they issue options. It is best for them to issue them before the price goes up.

So that is in fact positive.

[sonsonnyjim] 30/8/2018 07:38

Foolish Ben it seems you either don't know what either subtle or deramping means. And yiu clearly havent seen my positivity in here and on twitter re vrs.

[ellissj] 30/8/2018 07:36

I see dyson stepping up its EV testing.best ellis

[foolishben] 30/8/2018 07:36

sonson still up to his subtle deramping I see. I'm surprised more people don't call him on it. I'd be very surprised if he is actually long VRS.

[sonsonnyjim] 30/8/2018 07:32

I don't think it's bad news for the company just saying usually the grant of options moves a share price down if I'm not wrong?

[ellissj] 30/8/2018 07:31

That's the way i read it too grabster. If so, just how many globals are knocking on the door of vrs ? Aimo. Best ellis
