RA INTERNATIONAL GROUP PLC
("RA International", "RA" or the "Company")
Transaction in Own Shares and TVR
RA International Group PLC (AIM: RAI), a specialist provider of complex and integrated remote site services to organisations globally, announces its intention to make an off-market purchase of 1,987,215 ordinary shares in the Company with a nominal value of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 8 pence per Ordinary Share, from Trevor Stratford, a former employee of RA (the "Off-Market Purchase"). The Ordinary Shares will be repurchased using the Company's existing cash resources and will be held as treasury shares. The total consideration for the Off-Market Purchase will be £158,977.20.
The Off-Market Purchase is governed in accordance with the terms of a conditional sale and purchase agreement between RA and Trevor Stratford, which was entered into earlier today and is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company, at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") which is expected to be held on 26 June 2024 (a further announcement detailing the AGM will be made in due course).
Company shareholding in treasury and Total Voting Rights
Following settlement of the Off-Market Purchase, which is expected to occur shortly following the AGM assuming shareholder approval is granted, the total number of Ordinary Shares held as treasury shares will be 1,987,215. The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue (including shares held as treasury shares) will be 173,575,741. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 171,588,526, which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
