Dealings in securities by the DBW Plan, directors and the company secretary
Datatec announces annual grants under the terms of its Deferred Bonus Warrants
("DBW") Plan.
Participants in the DBW Plan have deferred a portion of their FY24 bonus which is
used to purchase Datatec shares "Bonus Shares" which will be held in escrow until
vesting. The Company has made a co-investment equal to the amount of bonus deferred
in the form of a grant of share appreciation rights ("SARs"). The number of SARs
awarded was determined by the Remuneration Committee based on an estimate of the
fair value of the SARs at the date of grant in relation to the market value of a
Datatec share.
Bonus Shares purchased and the SARs granted in terms of the DBW Plan are subject
to an employment condition and only vest with the participant if they remain in
employment with the Company for approximately three years to the vesting date on
1 June 2027. In addition, there is a two-year, post vesting holding period which
applies to the Bonus Shares and any shares arising from exercise of the SARs
within two years of vesting.
The DBW Plan is required to purchase a total of 660,937 Datatec ordinary shares
in the open market in respect of the Bonus Shares due to the participants who have
deferred part of their bonuses. The number of shares to be purchased was calculated
based on the Rand value of bonus deferred divided by R36.99 being the 30-day
volume weighted average share price on 27 May 2024, the date of the Group's FY24
Results Announcement. Bonus Shares of participants who are Directors and the
Company Secretary are as follows:
