The Board of REACT (AIM: REAT), the leading specialist cleaning, hygiene and decontamination company, announces that it has received notification from Jason Korinek and Justin Korinek that they have both reduced their respective shareholdings in the Company in response to market demand. Further details are set out in the notifications below.
Jason and Justin acquired their shareholdings when the Company acquired LaddersFree Ltd. from them in May 2022 and some of those ordinary shares were subject to a 6 month lock in period, followed by an orderly market lock in for a further 12-months, until November 2023.
Each of Jason and Justin now has an interest in approximately 28 million ordinary shares, being 2.64% of the Company's issued share capital, (a combined total of approximately 56 million ordinary shares, being 5.28%). Approximately 21 million shares held by each (42 million in total), are subject to a 24 month lock in period, during which none of those shares can be sold or transferred, followed by a further 12-month orderly market lock in until May 2025.
