Notification of conversion of Incentive Shares by Directors and Total Voting Rights
Digital Barriers plc (AIM: DGB), the specialist provider of advanced surveillance technologies to the security and defence sectors, announces that Tom Black, Colin Evans and Zak Doffman (the "Founding Executive Directors") requested, on Friday 13 December 2013, that their initial tranche of Incentive Shares be converted into new ordinary shares of one penny each ("Ordinary Shares") in accordance with the provisions relating to the Incentive Shares as detailed in the articles of association (the "Articles") of the Company.
Accordingly, 25% of the Incentive Shares held by each of the Founding Executive Directors have been surrendered and converted into new Ordinary Shares as detailed below (the "Conversion").
It is anticipated that the new Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on 20 December 2013. Following admission of the new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Conversion, the interests of the Founding Executive Directors, including the new Ordinary Shares issued following the conversion, are as follows:
NUMBER OF INCENTIVE SHARES HELD FOLLOWING CONVERSION | NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES ACQUIRED | NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES HELD FOLLOWING CONVERSION | PERCENTAGE OF ISSUED ORDINARY SHARES HELD | |
Tom Black | 81,562 | 141,356 | 4,244,428 | 6.57 |
Colin Evans | 40,781 | 70,678 | 693,839 | 1.07 |
Zak Doffman | 40,781 | 70,678 | 665,077 | 1.03 |
The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue with voting rights following the Conversion is 64,624,616.
No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.
The above figure of 64,624,616 Ordinary Shares in the Company carrying voting rights 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 interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
