Director's Dealings

 

London, UK, 5 July 2018: hVIVO plc (AIM: HVO), announces that application has been made to AIM for the admission of 7,477 new ordinary shares of 5.0p each in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares").

 

The New Ordinary Shares have been allotted pursuant to the purchase by Jim Winschel (Non-Executive Director) of new ordinary shares, under the terms of his letter of appointment as set out in the Company's announcement of 4 November 2014 which stated that Mr Ellertson and Mr Winschel had entered into binding commitments to purchase $20,000 and £4,000 of hVIVO plc new ordinary shares respectively per quarter.  Jaime Ellertson waived his Non-Executive Directors Fee with effect from 1 April 2018 and accordingly at the same time discontinued his quarterly purchase of shares, which was 40% of his fee.

 

The New Ordinary Shares represent Mr Winschel's investment for the quarter ended 30 June 2018.  On 5 July 2018, Mr Winschel invested in an additional 7,477 ordinary shares, at a price of 53.5 pence per share.

 

Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in issue will be 78,223,614 and this figure may be used by shareholders 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 Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

 

Admission of the New Ordinary Shares ("Admission"), which will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing shares in issue, is expected to occur on 11 July 2018.  Following Admission, Mr Winschel will be interested in a total of 73,138 ordinary shares of 5.0p in the Company, representing less than 0.1% of the Company's issued share capital.
