Stratex International Plc

('Stratex' or 'the Company')

Issue of Share Options

                                                                                                                                         

Stratex International Plc, the AIM-quoted exploration and development company focused on gold and base metals in West Africa and Turkey, announces it has issued the following share options to its Directors and other employees as part of the Company’s Enterprise Management Incentive (“EMI”) Scheme.

The Remuneration Committee carried out its regular review of management remuneration at the beginning of the current financial year. They concluded that for the second year running no salary increases should be awarded due to the need to conserve cash in the present economic climate but, in recognition of the achievements in 2015, principally the start of production at the gold mine at Altıntepe, the following share options were granted on 2nd September 2016 with an exercise price of 1.95p being the middle market price at the time of grant. The options will vest in equal tranches over three years, on the anniversary of the grant date, and have an exercise period of 10 years.

 

Share options issued to directors:

                                    New options       Total unexercised options     Shares held

Christopher Hall            500,000                     3,500,000                         212,143

Perry Ashwood             500,000                     5,223,567                      1,744,485

Emma Priestley              500,000                     2,000,000                                      -

Peter Addison                500,000                     3,000,000                         217,857

 

In addition to the options issued to directors, Claire Bay, Group Manager - Corporate and Project Development, has been issued with 150,000 share options on the same terms of the above. As a result, she now holds a total of 440,000 unexpired options.

Furthermore, as announced at the time of his appointment to the Board (announcement dated 29th January 2016), 1,500,000 share options have now been awarded to Chris Worcester on the same terms as the above EMI option award. As result, he holds a total of 1,500,000 unexercised options. 

As a result of the above award of options, the recently announced award of 6,000,000 options to Marcus Engelbrecht on his appointment as CEO of the Company (announcement dated 1st September 2016), and further awards to staff, the total number of unexercised share options outstanding at 2nd September 2016 is 30,005,144 representing in aggregate approximately 6% of the enlarged share capital of the Company.

Since listing in 2006, Stratex has discovered more than 2.2 million ounces of gold and 7.09 million ounces of silver, as well as 186,000 tonnes of copper. The Company achieved first gold pour at its 45%-owned Altıntepe gold mine in Turkey in November 2015 and as at 30 June 2016, the Mine had generated revenues of US$33.39 million. It also owns 30% of a copper-gold project at feasibility stage. With its current cash position, projected cash returns and no debt, the Company is well-placed to advance its existing exploration programmes and is also actively seeking to acquire advanced projects that are at the drill-ready stage or even have identified resources.
