Conversion Notice and Issue of Equity

Kingswood Holdings Limited (AIM: KWG), the integrated wealth management group, announces the receipt of a lender conversion notice ("Conversion Notice") in respect of the existing convertible term loan facility with KPI (Nominees) Limited ("KPI") (the "Convertible Facilities").

KPI has requested to convert £500,000 of Convertible Facilities into ordinary shares of 5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 7.850 pence, being the average mid-market closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares for the 20 Business Days prior to the date on which the Conversion Notice is served (the "Conversion").

As a result of this exercise, a total of 6,369,426 Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Conversion (the "Conversion Shares").

Following the Conversion, KPI will hold 68,793,024 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 40.8 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital. 

Admission and Total Voting Rights

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Conversion Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The Conversion Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of the Ordinary Shares following Admission. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that dealings on AIM will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 23 July 2019.

Following Admission the Company will have 168,718,110 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 168,718,110 The above 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
