Both Butler and Yeo have been granted new options under the company's share option plan to buy up to 5m shares at 7p each; seeing as French integrated oil company Total was prepared to offer 10p a share for Wessex earlier this year the option awards look on the generous side.
Wessex shares have performed strongly over the past year, more than doubling their value to 6.75p. The company moved from the PLUS market to AIM on March 18th, 2011.
