CyanConnode Holdings plc, a world leader in narrowband radio mesh networks, has announced the issuance of share options to its Executive Chairman, John Cronin, and Chief Financial Officer, Heather Peacock. The options allow them to acquire ordinary shares of 2 pence per share in the company. John Cronin has been awarded a total of 3,256,420 options, representing 1.09% of the issued share capital, while Heather Peacock has been awarded 2,191,850 options, representing 0.73% of the issued share capital. The options will vest in stages, with one-third vesting at the time of grant and the remaining two-thirds vesting on specified dates in the future.

The conversion will have the same vesting prices and dates as the options.
