Xaar plc
Two grants of options in 2019 and 2020
Xaar plc, (the "Company"), a leading inkjet printing technology group, makes the following announcement.
It has come to the Company's attention that two historic option grants, made to a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR"), one in 2019 and one in 2020, were not the subject of an announcement to the market at the time.
Notwithstanding the failure to disclose these two option grants noted above, all public disclosures by the Company since the dates of these grants, whether in the Company's financial statements or otherwise, included these option grants when referring to the number of ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company under option.
The two FCA notifications, made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, are appended below and give further details on the transactions described above.
