DeepVerge PLC
("DeepVerge" or "Company")
Director/PDMR Shareholding
The Company was notified on 5 February that Mrs Dagmara Brandon, the wife of Mr Gerard Brandon, the Company's Chief Executive, had on 4 February sold 194,942 ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares") at an average price of 32.05 pence per share. Mr Brandon's shareholding remains at 8,219,901 shares, representing 4.83 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
As a result of this share disposal, the Board has become aware that, inadvertently, Mrs Brandon's holding has not been included in Mr Brandon's shareholding disclosed in previous "Director/PDMR Shareholding" notifications since she acquired these shares on 20 November 2018 at an equivalent price of 6.5p per share (taking account of the recent 10:1 share consolidation).
Gerry Brandon, CEO of DeepVerge, commented:
"The 194,942 shares were owned by my wife and she is using £50,000 of the total proceeds of her disposal to acquire 50,000,000 ordinary shares in Microsaic Systems plc. The timing of the disposal directly relates to the settlement date of the Placing announced on 5 February in a separate notification from Microsaic Systems plc."
