Transactions in own securities

PPHE announces today that it has purchased the following number of its ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange through Jefferies International Limited ("the Broker"). The repurchased shares will be held in treasury. This concludes the current £3.7 million share buyback programme, details of which were announced on 29 June 2022 and later amended pursuant to the extension to share buyback programme announcement on 18 November 2022.

Ordinary Shares

Such purchase forms part of the Company's existing share buy-back programme and was effected pursuant to the instructions issued to the Broker by the Company on 29 June 2022, as announced on that date.

In addition, on 2 March 2023, 59,000 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Shares") previously held in treasury, were transferred out of treasury.

Following both the purchase of these shares and transfer out of treasury set out above, PPHE now holds 1,988,653 of its ordinary shares in treasury and has 42,358,757 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares). Each ordinary share carries one vote and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 42,358,757.

The above figure of voting rights of 42,358,757 should be used by shareholders 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 as it applies in the UK (the Market Abuse Regulation), a full breakdown of the individual trades made by the Broker on behalf of the Company as part of the buy-back programme is detailed below:
