Atico stock options await exchange approval
Atico’s stock option grant announcement sets out the aggregate award and its principal terms, but does not provide individual allocations or a vesting schedule. The stated exercise price is the amount payable per share when an option is exercised, rather than a reported market price.
The grant is distinct from an exercise of the options: the announcement does not report that recipients have purchased shares through these awards. It also gives no date for the exchange’s approval decision.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Exercise price | $0.225 per share |
| Option term | Five years |
| Recipient groups | Directors, officers, employees and consultants |
Copper and gold operations provide the backdrop
Atico focuses on exploring, developing and mining copper and gold projects in Latin America. Its portfolio includes the operating El Roble mine and the La Plata VMS project in Ecuador, which is under development.
The company also says it is pursuing acquisitions of advanced-stage opportunities. The option announcement does not identify a new acquisition or provide an update on production, project spending or financial results.
Atico trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under ATY and on the OTC market under ATCMF.
Conclusion
The next stated step is TSX Venture Exchange approval of the grant. Atico has not announced a timetable for that decision.
