Issue of Equity and Director / PDMR Shareholding

 

 

Arcontech (AIM: ARC), the provider of products and services for real-time financial market data processing and trading, announces that it has applied to the London Stock Exchange for 407,516 ordinary shares of £0.125 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The new Ordinary Shares are being issued subsequent to exercises of options over Ordinary Shares by Matthew Jeffs (Chief Executive of the Company) and Louise Barton (Non-Executive Director of the Company).

 

Director	Ordinary Shares held prior to exercise	Options over Ordinary Shares exercised	Ordinary Shares held on Admission	Percentage of issued share capital held on Admission
Matthew Jeffs	522,484	367,516	890,000	6.7%
Louise Barton	1,031,416	40,000	1,071,416	8.1%

 

It is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence in the new Ordinary Shares at 8.00 a.m. on 26 April 2018. On Admission the Company's issued share capital will comprise 13,210,510 Ordinary Shares, of which none are held in treasury. Therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 13,210,510. This figure 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
