Accordingly, the Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") is transferring to the above listed individuals a total of 198,120 Ordinary Shares. These Ordinary Shares are being transferred at an effective price of £0.3666 pence per Ordinary Share, based on the average closing mid-market price four business days immediately prior to the award.
Albert Ellis and Daniel Quint now hold 645,291 and 484,914 Ordinary Shares, respectively, representing 0.39% per cent. and 0.29% per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.
Total Voting Rights
Following the transfer of the 198,120 Ordinary Shares from the EBT, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue remains unchanged at 165,767,728, of which 3,316,391 are now held by the EBT. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury, therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares carrying voting rights is 162,451,337. This number may 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 interests in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
