Article layout: raw

RNS Number : 8663B CybIT Holdings PLC 03 November 2009

The following amendment has been made to the Directors / PDMR Shareholding announcement released on 28 October 2009 at 17:20pm under RNS No 5483B

Additional paragraph included:

Cybit Holdings plc ('Cybit' or the 'Company')

Directors' shareholdings (Replacement)

On 3 September 2009 the board of Cybit approved the grant of, in aggregate 370,000 options pursuant to the company's EMI Share Option Scheme to replace EMI options that expired on 1 August 2009. Richard Horsman, Chief Executive Officer has today received 200,000 options, Kevin Lawrence, Chief Financial Officer has today received 60,000 options and John Wisdom, Director of Cybit Limited has today received 120,000 options at an exercise price of 40.83p (the average of the market price close of the last three business days) and the options vest over three years in equal tranches, with the exception of Richard Horsman, whose options vest immediately.

Following the grant of these options, the total number of options over ordinary shares in the Company held by Mr Horsman was 1,290,525, the total number of options over ordinary shares in the Company held by Mr Lawrence was 193,979 and the total number of options over ordinary shares held by Mr Wisdom was 198,877.

In addition, on 3 September the Remuneration Committee decided to create a new Employee Benefit Trust and has accordingly granted the Trust an option to subscribe for 405,405 new shares at nominal value. Although the distribution of this option will be at the sole discretion of the Trustees of the Trust, the Company will recommend to the Trustees that these options will be issued to a sub-trust for the benefit of Richard Horsman and that they will vest on the earlier of two years from 30 September 2008, leaving the Company on good leaver terms or a change of control occurring before 30 September 2010. Such an arrangement will more strategically align the interests of shareholders and directors in building long term shareholder value, whilst taking into account recent shareholder comment in relation to the payment of director bonuses in the form of cash.
