Ormonde announces that the Directors of the Company have, for the time being, elected to waive their entitlement to directors' fees and to grant share options to certain directors and employees in accordance with the rules of Ormonde's Share Option Plan, which was approved by shareholders on 27 September 2018. The decision on Directors' fees will be reviewed in line with future developments in the Company's strategy.
Accordingly, on 18 November 2021, the Company granted share options ("Options") over 9,150,000 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to directors and employees of the Company.

The Options have a 10-year duration and will vest in two equal instalments, on issuance, and on the first anniversary of that date.
