Exercise of share awards & vestings, EBT share purchase, and total voting rights
Alpha FMC (AIM: AFM), a leading global provider of specialist consultancy services to the asset management, wealth management and insurance industries, announces that 32,439 vested share options under the Joint Share Ownership Plan ("JSOP") and Employee Incentive Plan ("EIP") were exercised on 21 February 2023. A further 3,600 previously vested Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") were also transferred under the EIP.
The Company will satisfy these exercised share options and vested RSUs using existing shares held in the Alpha Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT").
The Company has also been notified by Intertrust Employee Benefit Trustee Limited, the trustee of the Company's EBT, that on 22 February 2023, the EBT purchased a total of 12,105 Ordinary Shares in the Company at a price of £4.60 pence per share. The shares will be held in the EBT, a discretionary trust, and are intended to be used to satisfy the exercise of share options by employees, including the Directors of the Company. Ordinary Shares held by the EBT have no dividends or voting rights.
Following the above, the Company will have 120,509,736 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 6,274,380 are held in the Company's Employee Benefit Trust. No shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 114,235,356. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
