Following the completion of the exercise and sale a, his ultimate direct beneficial ownership is unchanged and remains at 647,622 shares representing 0.1% of the Company's total voting rights. Mr Rosenthal also holds an indirect interest through an approximate 2.8% interest in Ursa Major Holdings LLC ("UMH"). UMH has a beneficial interest in approximately 19.8 million ordinary shares. Mr Rosenthal's interest in the shares held by UMH is variable based on the distribution mechanisms established by the limited liability company agreements of UMH and its subsidiaries.

The issue of new ordinary share pursuant to the above exercise of share options has been made under the Company's existing block listing entitlement as announced on 18 May 2022.
This announcement, including the notification below, is made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
Details of the transaction are reported in the PDMR Notification below.
Phillip Gobe, Chairman, said: "Today's announcement represents only the second occasion since the Company's IPO in 2006 that any director has sold shares in the Company. The shares sold today resulted from the exercise of share options and have not changed the underlying holdings of shares for any of our directors. As previously announced, Pantheon is presently preparing for an extended period of flow testing, expected to commence next month and has the possibility of triggering a prolonged 'closed period' for director dealing. Myself and my board remain as excited as ever about the potential of Pantheon."

Notes to Editors
