Quigley has also agreed that his remuneration for the first six months of 2020 will be paid on a monthly basis and used to subscribe for new shares at the placing price.

Meanwhile, executive directors Ian Price and Gerry Madden have agreed to a similar arrangement for 40% of their salaries for the six months ending 31 December to be paid the day after the period-end and used to subscribe for new shares.

40% of their remuneration for the first six months of 2020 will then also be paid monthly and used for share subscriptions at the placing price.

An identical arrangement has been made for Yoel Aleman and David Palumbo, EQTEC’s chief technical and commercial director respectively.

The company also said each of the directors would only dispose of any interest in the new shares through the company’s broker until June 2020.
