The Fulham Shore PLC

("Fulham Shore", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Exercise of options, Director dealings and total voting rights

 

The Board of Fulham Shore announces that Nick Wong, Finance Director of the Company, has today exercised options (the "Option Exercise") over 2,774,856 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of 6p per option. Mr Wong has subsequently sold 1,470,000 shares issued pursuant to the option exercise at a price of 12p per Ordinary Share. The Option Exercise was funded via the sale of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options announced on 22 February 2021 and the price of this share sale was agreed at that time.  As a result of the Option Exercise and the above share sale, Mr Wong's beneficial interest in the Company's Ordinary Shares increases to 12,388,449, equivalent to 2.00% of the Company's share capital as enlarged by the Option Exercise.

 

Application has been made for the 2,774,856 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), which is expected to occur on or around 3 March 2021.

 

Total voting rights

 

Following Admission, the Company will have 619,057,651 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 619,057,651. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they should 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.

Notes for editors

Information on The Fulham Shore PLC

 

Fulham Shore was incorporated in March 2012. The Directors believed that there were attractive investment opportunities within the restaurant sector in the UK and that, given their collective experience in the restaurant sector, they could take advantage of the opportunities which existed.

 

The ordinary shares of the Company were admitted to trading on AIM in October 2014 in order to capitalise on such opportunities and to give the company employees, customers and public the ability to share in the enterprise.

 

Today, Fulham Shore owns and operates "The Real Greek" ( www.therealgreek.com ) and "Franco Manca" ( www.francomanca.co.uk ) restaurants.

 

The Real Greek

Since its foundation in London in 1999, The Real Greek group has grown steadily, now offering modern Greek cuisine in 19 restaurants   across London and Southern England.

 

The Real Greek food centres on the delicious, healthy diet of the Eastern Mediterranean, staying true to the Greek ethos of food, family and friends. Dishes are created using premium ingredients sourced from Greece and Cyprus whenever possible, and developed by Tonia Buxton, the face of Greek food in the UK.

 

The Real Greek's menu and atmosphere retain the spirit of eating in Greece, encouraging diners to take their time eating amongst friends and family, be it a relaxed dinner, family get-together, or a fully catered party.

 

Franco Manca

Franco Manca opened its first restaurant in 2008 and now has 53 restaurants, primarily in London, but also with restaurants across the UK (e.g. Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds, Cambridge, Bath, Oxford, Bristol and Exeter). Franco Manca also has a franchised pizzeria on the island of Salina in Italy.

 

Franco Manca's pizza is made from slow-rising sourdough and is baked in an oven that produces high heat. The slow levitation and blast cooking process lock in the flour's natural aroma and moisture, giving a soft and easily digestible crust. Where possible, locally sourced and organic ingredients are used. Pizza prices start from £5.20.

 

Franco Manca has received the following accolades:

 

Winner of the Casual Dining Best Family Dining Experience Award 2020

Winner of the R200 Best Value Restaurant Operator- Over 20 Sites Award 2019 and 2017
