Option Exercise, Admission and Total Voting Rights
RWS Holdings plc ("RWS" or "the Company"), a global AI solutions company, announces that 1,289,599 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") were issued today in order to satisfy (i) a share award to the Chief Executive Officer in respect of the FY25 bonus; and (ii) the exercise of options awarded at nil cost under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan as part of the Company's FY25 bonus arrangements. RWS has applied to the London Stock Exchange for the admission of 1,289,599 New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to take place at 8:00am on 26 January 2026.
The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari-passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue. The issue and allotment of the New Ordinary Shares will be within the Company's existing authorities.
Total Voting Rights
Subsequent to Admission, there will be 371,097,245 ordinary shares of 1p each in issue with voting rights. No shares are held in treasury. This figure 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
