Save As You Earn Options

In March 2019, Save As You Earn Options ('SAYE Options') with a per share exercise price of £1.52 over 688,612 ordinary shares in Wilmington plc (the "Company") were granted under the Wilmington SAYE Plan 2018 (the "SAYE Scheme") to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Participation in the SAYE Scheme was open to all eligible employees as defined by the scheme. The exercise price of £1.52 was calculated in accordance with the rules as set out in the SAYE Scheme. 

In May 2022 the SAYE Options vested, and can be exercised within six months following vesting.

In accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 and under the authority of its shareholders, the Directors have issued a further 183,908 ordinary voting shares to satisfy the Company's obligations under the SAYE Plan. Application will be made to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for 183,908 ordinary shares of 5 pence each to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the Main Market. It is expected that trading will commence on 06 May 2022. These shares will rank pari passu with the existing issued shares of the Company.

Following the issue of further ordinary shares of 5 pence each the Company now has issued voting share capital of 87,786,855 ordinary shares of 5 pence each.
