Liontrust Asset Management PLC ("Liontrust" or the "Company") announces that it has issued 900,000 new ordinary Liontrust shares of 1p each (the "New Ordinary Shares") to Walker Crips Group Plc ("Walker Crips") pursuant to the conversion of £900,000 in nominal amount of unsecured convertible loan stock of the Company ("CULS")  which was issued to Walker Crips as part of the consideration payable for the purchase (the "Acquisition") of the entire issued share capital of Walker Crips Asset Managers Limited. The Acquisition completed on 12 April 2012.

 

Following the conversion of £900,000 in nominal amount of the CULS, Walker Crips holds £3,100,000 in nominal amount of the CULS.

 

Application has been made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange, both of which are expected to become effective on 7 March 2013. Following admission to trading of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company's capital consists of 39,896,555 ordinary shares of 1p each with voting rights. No ordinary shares are held in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 39,896,555.

 

The above figure of 39,896,555 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 FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
