Scrip Dividend Election and PDMR Dealing
The Company announces the following information in relation to the ordinary share capital of the Company:
Elections to accept the scrip dividend alternative with regard to the final dividend for the year ended 31 October 2019 paid on 30 April 2020 were received from the holders of 2,697,689 ordinary shares of 25p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), in aggregate, representing approximately 13.6% of the Ordinary Shares in issue on 27 March 2020, being the record date for the final dividend. Accordingly, 111,564 new Ordinary Shares have been issued in satisfaction of such elections at an equivalent price of £2.275 each, increasing the enlarged issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company to 20,007,572 Ordinary Shares. The additional cost to the Company of the dividend paid in cash amounts to approximately £1,616,654 in total.
In the issue, as set out in the dealing notifications below, three directors of the Company received new Ordinary Shares in lieu of cash dividends.
Application has been made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on 6 May 2020.
Following the above transactions and for the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at the date of this notice is 20,007,572 with each share carrying the right to one vote. There are no shares held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 20,007,572.
The above figure 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
