When the financial controller was providing details on the employee share schemes at Knappa, it was
identified that share options granted to the production staff on 1 July 2022 were not accounted for in the
year ended 30 June 2023 financial statements.
On 1 July 2022,1,000 share options were granted to each of Knappa's 30 production employees, on the
condition that the employees remain with the company for the next two years and that the share price
increases from $26.50 per share on 1 July 2022 to $35 per share on 30 June 2024. If the share price
target at 30 June 2024 is achieved, the share options can be exercised at any time over the subsequent
12 months (ie up to 30 June 2025).
The fair value of each share option at the grant date was $5.60.
