LoopUp Group plc (AIM: LOOP), the cloud platform for premium hybrid communications, announces that a total of 4,214,500 shares ("New Ordinary Shares") have been allotted to participants pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), whereby employees may elect to sacrifice up to 25 per cent of their salary in return for the allotment of New Ordinary Shares.

 

The participation of employees in the ESPP remains strong since its launch in July 2021 reflecting the continued enthusiasm of employees to own shares in LoopUp. The Directors believe this is an effective way to reward and retain employees whilst ensuring they are aligned to the success of the Company.
