PENNANT INTERNATIONAL GROUP PLC
Issue of Equity, Director Dealings and Total Voting Rights
Pennant International Group plc (AIM:PEN) ("Pennant", the "Group" or "Company"), a leading global provider of training technology and integrated product support solutions, announces that it has issued 81,136 new ordinary shares of 5p each to satisfy awards under its employee Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP", the "SIP Shares").
In accordance with the terms of the SIP, the SIP Shares have been issued as 'free shares', with each relevant employee's entitlement calculated by reference to a share price of 29.5p per share, being the market price at the date of award.
Details of the respective SIP awards to Directors and a PDMR are set out below:
Director/PDMR | No. SIP Shares awarded |
Philip Walker (Chief Executive Officer)
| 7,515 |
David Clements (Commercial & Risk Director)
| 5,368 |
Michael Brinson (non-Board Director of Finance, a PDMR)
| 3,399 |
The SIP Shares are subject to forfeiture provisions for the first three years following award. The tables below provide further details for each PDMR in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation.
Certain employees, including the above-named PDMRs, have also elected to sacrifice salary each month to save to subscribe for further shares under the SIP (subject to the statutory annual limit per employee), such subscriptions being intended to complete in July 2023.
Application for admission to trading on AIM for the 81,136 SIP Shares has been made and admission is expected to take place on 15 August 2022. The SIP Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue. The SIP Shares will represent approximately 0.2% per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital on admission.
Total Voting Rights
