SHARE OPTIONS AND WARRANTS | 14. SHARE OPTIONS AND WARRANTS Options The Company operates share-based payment arrangements to remunerate Directors and key employees in the form of a share option scheme. It also issues options in lieu of fees to key suppliers and collaborators. The exercise price of the option is normally equal to the market price of an ordinary share in the Company at the date of grant. In May 2023, the company delisted from the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and carried out a share consolidation of 65 to 1. The effect of the share consolidation has been reflected below for all periods in the calculation of the number of options issued and the weighted average exercise price.

Where sufficient historical data is available, the Company uses its own share price to calculate volatility. The Company has not paid any dividends on share capital since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its share capital in the foreseeable future. The Company has estimated a forfeiture rate of zero.
