Cettire chief financial officer Tim Hume is one of the biggest casualties from a slump in the luxury retail platform’s share price, saddled with a $4.2 million tax bill at the same time as his stock options have become nearly worthless.

Mr Hume was issued 2.5 million options in August 2023, with an exercise price of $1.21. They expire two years after vesting, which occurred in late February when Cettire’s share price was sitting at $4.79. The options bundle was worth about $12 million at the time.
