BELVOIR LETTINGS PLC

(the "Company", "the Group" or "Belvoir") 

Director/ PDMR Dealing

Belvoir Lettings plc (AIM: BLV), has been notified that on 4 December 2018, Mike Goddard, Chairman of the Company, sold 1,065,431 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to the vendors of Northwood at 92.9p each.

The acquisition of Northwood in June 2016 was subject to a two year earn out.  During the two years under review, EBITDA performance increased by 51% from £1,069,000 to £1,616,000 against which a final consideration payment of £3,959,000 was due.  Settlement of the final payment in either cash or shares was at the discretion of the Board.  Feedback from institutional investors clearly supported 100% cash settlement, if possible.  Accordingly, Mike Goddard has made available 1,065,431 shares, enabling the Northwood vendors to take 25% of their collective final cash consideration in shares thereby, retaining a stake in the business that they had so successfully built over the past 23 years.

As a result, the following transfer of shares from Mike Goddard took place:
