Director Share Purchase Plan Update
Oracle Power PLC (AIM: ORCP), a developer of green hydrogen, is pleased to provide an update with regard to its MAR compliant Director Share Purchase Plan (" Director Purchase Plan ").
Since September 2021, the Directors have been purchasing shares under the Director Purchase Plan on a monthly basis. This plan was originally put in place for a 12-month period and then renewed in September 2022 for a further 12 months. However, whilst the Directors continue to be committed to acquiring shares in the Company, the Director Purchase Plan has become increasingly expensive and is administratively cumbersome to operate. It has therefore been decided to terminate this plan and, instead, the Directors will continue to purchase shares as and when this is permissible under the Market Abuse Regulation. The Directors consider that this will provide more flexibility and potentially result in a greater proportion of available funds being deployed in the purchase of shares.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation No. 596/2014, which forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended).
