Additional Allotment and New Issue including director/PDMR shareholder
Begbies Traynor Group plc, announces that it has today applied to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange for an additional listing of 148,641 fully paid up ordinary 5 pence shares in the Group ("Ordinary Shares") to satisfy the exercise by staff of certain share options.
Incorporated within this additional listing are Ordinary Shares which have been allotted to Nick Taylor, Group Finance Director, who has exercised share options over 250,000 ordinary 5 pence shares in the Group at an exercise price of 63.12p ("the Options"). Settling the Options net of the relevant option price has resulted in the additional issue and allotment of 140,720 Ordinary Shares. In addition to exercising the Options Nick Taylor has also sold an aggregate of 103,000 Ordinary Shares from his existing beneficial holding in the Group with 70,000 being sold on 23 January at 144 pence and 33,000 sold today at 144.50 pence.
Admission of these shares to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange is expected to occur on 30 January 2023 following which the total number of shares in issue and total voting rights will be 154,506,246. The Group does not hold any shares in treasury and, therefore, the above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company.
