A further 84,479 new Ordinary Shares were issued pursuant to exercise of IPO Awards in respect of persons other than directors or PDMRs. These included 71,141 new Ordinary Shares issued to Mark Raban, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, following exercise by the Company of its discretion to permit such awards to vest, further details of which are set out in the Company's 2018 Annual Report and Accounts.
An application for admission to trading of the 306,795 new Ordinary Shares issued and allotted pursuant to the IPO Awards as set out above has today been submitted to London Stock Exchange plc and admission is expected to become effective on 8 April 2019.
Following admission of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company hereby notifies that, as at the date of this announcement, the Company's issued share capital consists of 78,172,448 Ordinary Shares, with each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 78,172,448. The above figure of 78,172,448 Ordinary Shares 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 Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
