Castleton Technology PLC
("Castleton", the "Company" or the "Group")
Director/PDMR Shareholding, Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights
Castleton Technology plc (AIM: CTP), the software and managed services provider to the public and not-for-profit sectors, announces that it has received notification from Haywood Chapman, Chief Financial Officer, that he exercised 271,000 options over ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on 29 August 2018, at an exercise price of 22 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Exercise"). Following the Exercise, on 29 August 2018 Mr Chapman sold 270,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 97 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Sale").
Following the Exercise and Sale, Mr Chapman holds 1,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.001% of the enlarged issued share capital. Mr Chapman holds options over 2% of the total value of the Company above a base value - the 2% proportion calculated by reference to the issued share capital of the company as at 21 February 2018, less the value of the options exercised above, by way of a combination of EMI Options, Unapproved Options and Growth Shares.
Application has been made for 271,025 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which includes 25 Ordinary Shares issued in relation to Castleton's acquisition of a licence from Brixx International Ltd, as announced on 19 June 2018. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares and it is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 5 September 2018.
Following the issue of the 271,025 Ordinary Shares, the Company will have a total of 81,332,434 Ordinary Shares in issue with one voting right per share. 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
