Ramsdens Holdings PLC

("Ramsdens" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options, PDMR Shareholding and Total Voting Rights

Ramsdens, the diversified financial services provider and retailer, announces an exercise of employee options, including by certain persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs").

On 5 April 2023, the Company granted options over 358,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the Company's 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP Options").  The LTIP Options were subject to the achievement of performance targets with 50% of any award based on Earnings per Share growth and 50% of any award based on the delivery of Total Shareholder Return.

On the same date, the Company also granted options over 150,000 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Company Share Option Plan (the "CSOP Options" and, together with the LTIP Options, the "Options") which were not subject to any performance criteria and are exercisable at 230p per Ordinary Share.

Vesting of 344,000 LTIP Options and 135,000 CSOP Options took place on 6 April 2026. Following the vesting, a total of 309,000 Options were exercised on 24 June 2026, of which three PDMRs exercised 125,000 Options.

On the same date, the same three PDMRs sold, in aggregate, 125,000 Ordinary Shares at an average price of 587 pence per Ordinary Share. The following table summarises the dealings and resultant shareholdings of the three PDMRs:

Name	PDMR Role	LTIP Options Exercised	CSOP Options Exercised	No of Ordinary Shares Sold	Resultant Shareholding
Michael Johnson	Operations Director of trading subsidiary	50,000	Nil	50,000	538,840
Jason Carr	IT Director of trading subsidiary	30,000	7,500	37,500	126,250
Mark Smith	Finance Director of trading subsidiary	30,000	7,500	37,500	39,063

Pursuant to the exercise of the Options, the Company has issued 309,000 new Ordinary Shares, subject to admission to trading on AIM. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 309,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 1 July 2026.

In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, the Company confirms that, following Admission, its issued share capital will consist of 32,664,782 Ordinary Shares. The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 32,664,782.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation 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.
