Share Options Reissue
19 May 2026 - Beeks Financial Cloud Group plc (AIM: BKS), a cloud computing and connectivity provider for financial markets, announces that it has cancelled certain existing unapproved share options and re‑issued them as EMI options under the same terms.
The Company has cancelled 1,400,000 unapproved share options that were originally granted during the previous financial year and has re‑issued them on a like‑for‑like basis as EMI options, with no increase in the total number of options outstanding nor any changes to the vesting criteria of the options.
Of the EMI options cancelled and re‑issued, 55,000 related to Fraser McDonald, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and a person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR").
The cancellation and re‑issue of the options have been undertaken to enable eligible employees to benefit from the revised EMI limits and does not result in any increase in dilution to shareholders.
The re‑issue relates solely to options previously granted and does not represent new awards. Consequently, following the re‑issue, the aggregate number of share options outstanding remains unchanged.
