Admission to Trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights
Application is being made to AIM for 80,928,000 New Ordinary Shares, allotted in relation to the SIP for 2023/24 tax year, to be admitted to trading on AIM, the admission of which it is expected on or around 25 April 2024.
Following admission of the Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 4,138,978,811 ordinary shares, with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 4,138,978,811 ordinary shares. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations to determine if they are required to notify their interests in, or change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.
Background: the SIP is a Government-created scheme to encourage wider share ownership and employee participation. The Company has a longstanding policy of utilising this scheme as a tax-efficient component of staff remuneration that encourages staff retention as the tax benefits are normally only available five years after grant. No other benefits are offered by the Company.
