("WYG" or "Company")
Exercise of Share Options & Total Voting Rights / PDMR Shareholding
WYG announces that on 8 December the Company issued and allotted 426,242 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") following the exercise of vested share options granted under the Group's Transformation Incentive Plan.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 15 December 2016.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital and total number of voting rights will be 69,129,528 Ordinary Shares. There are no shares held in treasury.
This figure of 69,129,528 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
As a result of the exercise of share options, several PDMRs of the Company received and sold Ordinary Shares at 111 pence each. The below disclosures made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation provide further detail.
