Update re: Director's Shareholding 

PHSC (AIM: PHSC), a leading provider of health, safety, hygiene and environmental consultancy services and security solutions to the public and private sectors, has been informed that the current shareholding of Stephen King (Chairman and CEO) consists of 2,018,253 ordinary shares of 10p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

Accordingly, his previously disclosed shareholding position on 2 April 2024 was overstated by 197,649 Ordinary Shares.  It has been determined that such overstatement is principally due to a series of historic, low value, share sales between 21 January 2010 and 31 March 2016, undertaken on Mr King's behalf in connection with his personal long term retirement planning which were not previously notified due to an administrative oversight.  Full details of these disposals are set out in the following table:
