The Panoply Holdings PLC
("The Panoply", or the "Group")
Issue of Shares and PDMR dealings
The Panoply Holdings PLC, the technology-enabled services group focused on digital transformation, announces that the Group has today issued 307,566 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in respect of outstanding acquisition consideration totalling £637,339 ("Earnout Shares") and 4,192 new ordinary shares of 1 pence in respect of the Share Incentive Plan ("SIP").
The SIP Trustees (Cytec Trustees Limited) acquired a total of 4,192 shares (the "Partnership Shares") on 8 April 2021 at a price of £2.60 per Ordinary Share and total cost of £10,899. The Partnership Shares were acquired by purchase in the market and allocated to those Group employees participating in its Share Incentive Plan (SIP) scheme. As set out at the time of the announcement of The Panoply's interim results on 30 November 2020, this SIP Plan is designed to reward and incentivise employees of the Group through tax-efficient salary sacrifice and a free matching award of Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, on 8 April 2021, the SIP Trustees also allocated a total of 4,192 matching shares (the "Matching Shares") under the SIP. The Matching Shares are covered by the Group's block listing as announced on 15 January 2021.
Neal Gandhi and Oliver Rigby received Earnout Shares in respect of the acquisitions, together with Partnership Shares and Matching Shares under the SIP as follows:
Name | Earnout Shares issued | Partnership Shares acquired | Matching Shares issued | Total Shares post issue (including shares held by the SIP on behalf of the relevant PDMR) | Percentage of issued share capital |

Oliver Rigby | 1,494 | 57 | 57 | 5,099,389 | 6.3% |
Remaining value of acquisition consideration to be issued
Following the issue, the Company has additional consideration to pay totalling £9,432,434. The maximum further shares to be issued as a result of this consideration is 12,162,965, which reduces to 3,849,973 assuming the share price remained constant at £2.45, being the closing mid-market price on 1 April 2021.

Following this issue of Earnout Shares and Matching Shares the Company will have 80,740,118 Ordinary Shares in issue and no Ordinary Shares in treasury.
