The Panoply Holdings PLC
("The Panoply", or the "Group")
Issue of Shares and PDMR dealings
The Panoply Holdings PLC, the digitally-enabled technology services group focused on digital transformation, announces that the Group has today issued 239,814 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in respect of outstanding acquisition consideration totalling £637,339 ("Earnout Shares") and 4,614 new ordinary shares of 1 pence in respect of the Share Incentive Plan ("SIP").
The SIP Trustees (Cytec Trustees Limited) acquired a total of 4,614 shares (the "Partnership Shares") on 9 August 2021 at a price of £2.40 per Ordinary Share and total cost of £11,074. The Partnership Shares were acquired by purchase in the market and allocated to those Group employees participating in its Share Incentive Plan (SIP) scheme. As set out at the time of the announcement of The Panoply's interim results on 30 November 2020, this SIP Plan is designed to reward and incentivise employees of the Group through tax-efficient salary sacrifice and a free matching award of Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, on 9 August 2021, the SIP Trustees also allocated a total of 4,614 matching shares (the "Matching Shares") under the SIP. The Matching Shares are covered by the Group's block listing as announced on 15 January 2021.
Neal Gandhi and Oliver Rigby received Earnout Shares in respect of the acquisitions, together with Partnership Shares and Matching Shares under the SIP as follows:
