Coinsilium Group Limited: Grant of Options and Team Option Pool

London, UK, 10 November 2023 - Coinsilium Group Limited (AQUIS:COIN) (OTCQB:CINGF) the Web3 investor, advisor and venture builder is pleased to announce the grant of up to 15,500,000 new share options over ordinary shares of nil par value (“Options”), to the Directors, staff and key consultants to the Company.

2,750,000 Team Options (“Team Options") have been awarded to members of the Company's non-board key staff and consultants who are essential to the development and growth of the Company in the months and years ahead. 

A further 4,500,000 Team Options remain available to be granted, through an Option Pool (“Option Pool”) in line with the Company's policy of providing incentives to senior management key personnel and consultants in order to fully align their interests with those of shareholders, facilitate retention and enhance performance. To be clear, Coinsilium directors will not receive Team Options which are designed to incentivise non-board team members.

The Board considers the award of the Options to be fundamental to incentivising key personnel of the Company.

The 15,500,000 Options are exercisable over a period of three years form the date of grant, at an exercise price of 4.25p. Each Option entitles the holder upon exercise to one ordinary share in the capital of the Company.

On 23 July 2021, the Company announced the grant of 5,700,000 options in total to Directors of the Company (“2021 Options”).  The 2021 Options remained un-exercised.

Options over ordinary shares of nil par value in the capital of the Company, including the un-exercised 2021 Options and subject to the exercise of the 15,500,000 Options represent, in aggregate, 10.86% of the existing issued share capital of the Company.

Following the grant of the Options to Directors, the resultant Directors' interests in the Company are as follows:
