Clean Power Hydrogen plc (AIM: CPH2), the UK-based green hydrogen technology and manufacturing group that has developed the IP-protected Membrane-Free Electrolyser, announces that today a total of 2,764,160 new Ordinary Shares (the 'New Ordinary Shares') were issued pursuant to the exercise of options by Jon Duffy, Chief Executive Officer, under the Company's Unapproved Share Option Scheme. In order to meet the cost of exercise as well as PAYE tax and national insurance obligations arising as a result of this transaction, Mr Duffy has subsequently sold 1,704,565 ordinary shares at a price of 15p per share. The selling price has been determined based on a 5 per cent. discount to the ten-day VWAP as calculated as at market close on 21st April 2023. All of the shares that have been sold were acquired by an institutional investor.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Dealings in the New Ordinary Shares are expected to commence on or around 8.00 a.m. on 27 April 2023.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 268,184,127 ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company. As the Company holds no shares in treasury, this is the total number of the voting rights in the Company which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest, or a change in the interest, in the share capital of the Company under Chapter 5 of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules as reflected in the Company's articles of incorporation.
Following the Admission of the New Ordinary Shares and subsequent sale, Mr Duffy will have increased his interest, holding 8,439,751 ordinary shares in the Company, representing 3.1% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.
