TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS AND SHARE CAPITAL
In conformity with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules provision 5.6.1R, Drax Group plc (the "Company") advises of the following:
That, as at 31 December 2018, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 407,193,168 ordinary shares of 11 16/29 pence each, with each ordinary share having one vote, of which 13,023,639 ordinary shares are held in treasury. Treasury shares do not carry voting rights.
The increase in the issued share capital is due to the allotment of 7,881 new shares to satisfy the exercise of share options in accordance with the rules of the Company's Sharesave Plan.
Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in respect of these ordinary shares is 394,169,529. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their voting rights interest, or a change to that interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
