Executive Share Option Plan

On 8 February 2016, options were granted pursuant to the Executive Share Option Plan to two directors at an exercise price of £1.80 per ordinary share. The number of ordinary shares subject to the options are the requisite number of ordinary shares as represents 5.43% of the fully diluted ordinary share capital of the Company immediately following the end of the Company's stabilisation period following admission to the London Stock Exchange. Restricted shares with similar terms were awarded to the founders of the Company constituting 5.00% of the issued share capital of the Company after admission. As such, the number of options granted for both management and founders was confirmed on 20 March 2017. All conditions are unchanged from those disclosed in the 31 December 2020 financial statements.

Executive Incentive Plan

On 22 February 2017, nil cost options were granted pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan to certain directors and members of staff. The options vested on 22 February 2019 and may be exercised from this date until 21 February 2027. The options are contingent on remaining in employment with a company in the Arix Group and are subject to malus and clawback provisions.

On 17 May 2018, options were granted pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan to certain directors and members of staff, with a vesting date of 17 May 2021, subject to performance conditions. These performance conditions were not met and as such the options have lapsed.

On 9 May 2019, options were granted pursuant to the Executive Incentive Plan to certain directors and members of staff.

Share based payments

The fair value of options granted under the Executive Share Option Plan was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in this calculation are unchanged from those disclosed in the 31 December 2020 financial statements.

The charge associated with the 17 May 2018 options have been calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation, incorporating relevant assumptions for share price (209.0p), expected volatility based on similar quoted companies (37%), risk free interest rate (0.93%) and share option term (three years). The resultant fair value is then spread over the three-year relevant vesting period.
