Establishment of an Employee Benefit Trust
12 April 2023
MyHealthChecked PLC (AIM: MHC), the consumer home-testing healthcare company, announces that it has established an Employee Benefit Trust called The MyHealthChecked PLC Benefit Trust (the “EBT”). The EBT will be for the benefit of current and future employees.
The EBT will act independently of the Company, managed by Ogier Global Trustee (Jersey) Limited, and is expected to make market purchases of ordinary shares of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in order to, among other things, satisfy future option exercises of vested options granted pursuant to the Company's share option scheme.
The EBT will be funded by way of a loan from the Company and the Board believes that the formation of the EBT will help the Company in attracting new talent and incentivising existing members of the management team. The maximum amount of the loan to be made available to the EBT is currently capped at £50,000 but maybe varied in the future by agreement between the Company and the trustees of the EBT.
