Kromek Group plc
("Kromek" or the "Company")
Exercise of Options
The Company notifies that, on 15 September 2017, Jerel Whittingham, a Director of the Company, exercised options over 250,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company, for an exercise price of 1.5 pence per share. Accordingly, application has been made for 250,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari-passu with existing Ordinary Shares and it is expected that admission will occur on 25 September 2017.
Following this exercise of options, Mr Whittingham holds 364,890 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.1 per cent of the Company's enlarged ordinary share capital. Following Admission, Kromek's issued share capital will comprise 260,395,618 Ordinary Shares, of which no Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. The total number of current voting rights in the Company is therefore 260,395,618 Ordinary Shares.
The above figure of 260,395,618 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
