MJ Gleeson plc ("Gleeson" or the "Company")
Exercise of Options and PDMR Dealing
The Company announces that on 4 October 2022, certain employees exercised share options over 36,023 ordinary shares of 2 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in connection with the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan, including Mark Knight, Chief Executive of Gleeson Homes, a PDMR, who exercised share options over 21,457 Ordinary Shares.
Application has been made for the admission to trading of the new Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares, on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and to listing on the Official List of the FCA, with dealings expected to commence on or around 11 October 2022.
Subsequent to the exercise of the share options on 4 October 2022, Mark Knight has, on 4 October 2022 sold 10,680 Ordinary Shares at an average price of 403 pence (£4.03) per Ordinary Share in order to satisfy tax liabilities resulting from the exercise of the abovementioned options.
Following the completion of the exercise and the sale, Mark Knight's aggregate shareholding is expected to increase to 44,820 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.8 per cent. of the total voting rights in the Company.
Total Voting Rights
Following the completion of the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the total number of issued Ordinary Shares will be 58,342,360. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
Therefore, from completion of the issue of new Ordinary Shares the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 58,342,360 which may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's DTR.
