PDMR Dealing

FIH announces that it received notice on 20 March 2017 that Mr G McManus, a director of the Falkland Islands Company Limited (a subsidiary of FIH), had exercised an option (the "Option") over 14,761 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company ("Shares") which had been granted under the Company's Executive Share Option Scheme (the "Option Scheme") in June and December 2011.

5,416 Options were granted on 27 June 2011 at an exercise price of 302.5 pence per Share and 9,345 Options were granted on 16 December 2011 at an exercise price of 267.5 pence per Share, meaning the aggregate total Option exercise value was £41,381.28. However, in accordance with the rules of the Option Scheme to effectively allow a cashless exercise, 13,364 of the Options were cancelled and the intrinsic value of the cancelled part of the Option was offset against the exercise price payable.

As a result of the exercise of the Option and the subsequent cancellation of Options detailed above, 1,397 Shares were issued to Mr McManus on 20 March 2017, which he immediately sold for 320p per Share. These 1,397 Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM on 22 March 2017.

Mr G McManus is classified as a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility for the purposes of Market Abuse Regulations.

Rule 2.9

Following admission of the new Shares to trading on AIM, in accordance with Rule 2.9 of the Takeover Code, FIH confirms that, as at 22 March 2017, it will have 12,434,418 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in issue and admitted to trading on AIM under the ISIN reference GB00BD0CWJ91. The Company holds no shares in treasury.
