GATELEY (HOLDINGS) PLC

("Gateley" or the "Group" or the "Company")

(AIM: GTLY)

GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS ("RSAs"), ISSUE OF ORDINARY SHARES, PDMR DEALING

AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

Gateley, the professional services group, announces that on 3 September 2026 the Company granted RSAs over 925,251 Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to senior leaders recently joining or providing exceptional on-going performance. 884,707 of these awards have been satisfied from existing Ordinary Shares already held by the Gateley Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") alongside 40,544 which will be satisfied by the issue of new Ordinary Shares as the relevant employee is not UK based. 

In addition, the EBT has also made a share award of 230,000 shares to a member of Gateley's Strategic Board in recognition for their outstanding contribution over an extended period. This award will also be satisfied using existing Ordinary Shares already held by the EBT.

The nil consideration RSAs vest on award receipt, are entitled to dividends and to vote, and are subject to a five-year non-dealing restriction including forfeiture should the recipient's employment end or be terminated within that restricted period.  RSAs form part of the Group's progressive incentivisation and equity recirculation plan.  It is a continuation of the Board's strategy to differentiate the position of senior leaders and directors at Gateley from that of a partner in traditionally structured professional services businesses.

Issue of new Ordinary Shares and Total Voting Rights

The Board has agreed to allot and issue 40,544 new Ordinary Shares.  Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for these new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00am on 9 September 2026.

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue.  Following Admission, Gateley's total issued share capital will comprise 137,315,866 Ordinary Shares in issue, including 1,195,840 shares remaining held by the EBT, after the above awards.  This 137,315,866 total number of voting rights above 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 Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
