Petards ( (GB:PEG) ) has provided an announcement.

Petards has cancelled a series of lapsed Enterprise Management Incentive and Unapproved share options previously held by Executive Chairman Raschid Abdullah and Chief Executive Officer Osman Abdullah, and has replaced them with new awards under its 2025 EMI and Unapproved Option Plan. The board has granted a total of 4,000,000 EMI options over ordinary shares at an exercise price of 10.25p to senior employees, including 1,500,000 options each to Raschid and Osman Abdullah and 1,000,000 to Group Financial Controller and Company Secretary Ben Gillam, bringing total options in issue to 4,080,000, or 6.7% of Petards’ current issued share capital.

The restructuring of Petards’ share-based incentives aligns senior management’s long-term interests more closely with shareholders by setting the new option exercise price at the recent market level and introducing a three-year vesting period with up to ten years for exercise after vesting. The move underscores the company’s use of equity-based remuneration to retain and motivate key executives and staff, while clarifying the scale of potential dilution for investors through the updated option pool.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:PEG) stock is a Hold with a £10.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Petards stock, see the GB:PEG Stock Forecast page.
