("Earthport" or "Company")
Issue of Equity
Earthport (AIM: EPO) has issued and allotted 440,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in lieu of fees.
Accordingly, application has been made for the 440,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will take place on 4 April 2017.
The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.
Following admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 488,190,409 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. No Ordinary Shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 488,190,409.
This figure of 488,190,409 Ordinary Shares 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
