The Buyback is limited to an aggregate purchase amount of £1.5 million and will continue until 4.30p.m. on 30 April 2024. The Buyback may benefit holders of ZDP Shares requiring liquidity.
In accordance with the resolution passed at the AGM, purchases made pursuant to the Buyback Programme must be a) at a maximum price (exclusive of expenses) paid per ZDP Share of 105% of the average of the middle market quotations (as derived from the Daily Official List) of the ZDP Shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date of purchase and b) at a minimum price paid per ZDP Share of £0.01.
The Company has 8,782,388 ZDP Shares in issue, of which 1,118,666 ZDP Shares are held in treasury. ZDP Shares purchased pursuant to the Buyback Programme will be held in treasury.
Shareholders should be aware that a purchase of ZDP Shares by the Company on any trading day may represent a significant proportion of the daily trading volume in the ZDP Shares and could exceed 25 per cent. of the average daily trading volume of the preceding 20 business days.
