Issue of Shares and PDMR dealings

 

The Panoply Holdings PLC, the technology-enabled services group focused on digital transformation, announces that the Group has today issued 404,526 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in respect of outstanding acquisition consideration totalling £996,557 ("Earnout Shares") and 3,530 new ordinary shares of 1 pence in respect of the Share Incentive Plan ("SIP").

 

The SIP Trustees (Cytec Trustees Limited) acquired a total of 3,530 shares (the "Partnership Shares") on 10 May 2021 at a price of £2.80 per Ordinary Share and total cost of £9,884. The Partnership Shares were acquired by purchase in the market and allocated to those Group employees participating in its Share Incentive Plan (SIP) scheme. As set out at the time of the announcement of The Panoply's interim results on 30 November 2020, this SIP Plan is designed to reward and incentivise employees of the Group through tax-efficient salary sacrifice and a free matching award of Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, on 10 May 2021, the SIP Trustees also allocated a total of 3,530 matching shares (the "Matching Shares") under the SIP. The Matching Shares are covered by the Group's block listing as announced on 15 January 2021.

 

Neal Gandhi and Oliver Rigby received Earnout Shares in respect of the acquisitions, together with Partnership Shares and Matching Shares under the SIP as follows:

Admission to trading and total voting rights

 

An application has been made for the admission of the Earnout Shares to trading on AIM which is expected to take place on or around 14 May 2021. The Matching Shares are covered by the Group's block listing as announced on 15 January 2021.

 

Following this issue of Earnout Shares and Matching Shares the Company will have 81,148,174 Ordinary Shares in issue and no Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in The Panoply will be 81,148,174. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the Group under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
