Volex plc
("Volex" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights
Volex announces that, pursuant to its scrip dividend alternative for the final dividend of 2.6 pence per share for the year ended 2 April 2023 to be paid on 25 August 2023, elections were received in respect of 52,432,961 ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") as at the scrip election date of 4 August 2023. Accordingly, 478,491 Ordinary Shares (the "Scrip Dividend Shares") will be issued in satisfaction of such elections at the scrip reference price of 284.9 pence each.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Scrip Dividend Shares to be admitted to AIM. It is expected that dealings in the Scrip Dividend Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 25 August 2023.
The Scrip Dividend Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.
Total voting rights
Following admission of the Scrip Dividend Shares, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 181,403,757 ordinary shares of 25 pence each with one voting right per share.
As the Company does not hold any shares in treasury, the total number of voting rights in the Company is also 181,403,757 and this figure 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
