First Derivatives plc
("FD" or the "Company")
Issue of Equity from exercise of Share Options
FD (AIM: FDP.L, ESM: FDP.I) announces the issue and allotment of 35,350 new ordinary shares of 0.5p each in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the exercise of share options by certain employees. Application has been made for these new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and ESM and it is expected that admission will take place on 7 July 2017. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company. Following this allotment, the total issued share capital of the Company will increase to 25,045,869 ordinary shares.
In addition, application has also been made for the admission to trading on AIM of 176,666 Ordinary Shares that were allotted in July 2015 and that were admitted to trading on ESM at that time but not to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission of these Ordinary Shares will also take place on 7 July 2017. This is therefore a technical issue and does not affect the above total issued share capital.
