("FIH" or "the Company")
Exercise of Options, Director/PDMR Shareholding and Total Voting Rights
FIH group plc, the AIM quoted international group which owns essential services businesses focused on retail, transport and logistics, announces that on 19 June 2019, it received a notice of exercise of option from Mr John Foster, Chief Executive of the Company. Such notice of exercise related to an option (the "Option") over 44,550 ordinary shares of £0.10 each in the Company ("Shares") under the terms of Part B of the Company's 2009 Executive Share Option Scheme.
The exercise price per Option was 290 pence and the aggregate total Option exercise price was £129,195. However, in accordance with the rules of the Option Scheme, sufficient Options were cancelled to settle the exercise price and the employee tax liabilities payable, in accordance with the rules of the Option Scheme.
As a result of the exercise of the Option, 2,006 Shares were issued to Mr John Foster on 19 June 2019 after accounting for deductions. The Shares issued pursuant to the Options exercise have already been admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") under the Company's block listing.
Following this award, the underlying beneficial ownership of shares held by Mr. Foster including 1,375 matching shares from the Group's Share Incentive Plan, is 106,182 shares representing 0.85 per cent of the Company's 12,504,519 total voting rights. 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 interest in, or a change to their interest in, FIH under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
