MARSHALL MOTOR HOLDINGS PLC
("MMH" or the "Company")
Vesting of 2016 LTIP, Director Shareholdings and Total Voting Rights
Marshall Motor Holdings Plc, one of the UK's leading automotive retail groups, announces that on 23 December 2019 certain Directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities ('PDMRs') of the Company exercised nil cost options over ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares") (the "2016 LTIPs") granted under the Marshall Motor Holdings Plc Performance Share Plan ("PSP").
In addition, the Company's Remuneration Committee has determined that, taking into account the Company's performance over the performance period (being the three financial years ended 31 December 2018), further Shares would be awarded to those Directors and PDMRs for nil cost by the trustee of the MMH Employee Benefit Trust, with those further Shares subject to the same holding period that applies to the 2016 LTIPs.
As a result, the interests of the following Directors and PDMRs in Shares have changed as follows:
Name | Position | Number of new Shares over which 2016 LTIPs exercised* | Number of Shares* awarded by Trustee | Resultant interest in Shares | % holding of total issued share capital of Company |
Daksh Gupta | Chief Executive | 39,994 | 69,993 | 1,451,111 | 1.85% |
Jamie Crowther | Operations Director | 5,999 | 10,499 | 65,490 | 0.08% |
Stephen Jones | Company Secretary | 4,499 | 7,874 | 39,051 | 0.05% |
*associated tax and national insurance contribution liabilities arising in respect of the exercise of the 2016 LTIPs and delivery of additional shares have already been cash settled.
A further 9,297 new Shares were issued pursuant to exercise of the 2016 LTIPs by persons other than directors or PDMRs. An application for admission to trading of the 59,789 total new Shares issued and allotted pursuant to the 2016 LTIPs as set out above has today been submitted to London Stock Exchange plc and admission is expected to become effective on 31 December 2019.
Following admission of the new Shares, the Company hereby notifies that, as at the date of this announcement, the Company's issued share capital consists of 78,232,237 Shares, with each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of Shares in the Company with voting rights is 78,232,237. The above figure of 78,232,237 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
