Issue of Equity & PDMR Dealing

Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO), a leading provider of information systems and technical services to transport operators and local authorities, announces the issuance of 240,385 new ordinary shares of 6.5p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the exercise of options by Russ Singleton, Chief Executive Officer. The options were exercised at a price of 104p per share and were due to expire on 10 October 2023. Mr Singleton has sold 175,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 210.37p per share, in part to cover the exercise price. Following these transactions, Mr Singleton holds a total of 465,385 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 2.83% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 240,385 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares and it is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 10 October 2023.

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 16,457,824 Ordinary Shares with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company following Admission will be 16,457,824. Shareholders may use this figure 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.
