ELIXIRR INTERNATIONAL PLC
("Elixirr", the "Company" or the "Group")
Purchase of Shares by Employee Benefit Trust
and
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Elixirr International plc (AIM:ELIX), an established, global award-winning challenger consultancy, announces that the Elixirr International plc Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT") purchased from certain Directors, PDMRs, employees and shareholders of the Company (the "Purchase") 1,419,890 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 565 pence per Ordinary Share.
The Purchase has been made at the instruction of Apex Group Fiduciary Services Limited as independent trustee of the EBT following a recommendation by the Board of the Company. The decision to make the Purchase is to ensure that the EBT has sufficient shares to satisfy demand including for satisfaction of options, equity for new Partners and equity for those joining the firm through acquisition. Accordingly, the Purchase will mitigate the need for dilution in the equity of the Company as it executes on its growth strategy.
Following the Purchase, the EBT's beneficial holding is 1,782,344 Ordinary Shares representing 3.8 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company.
Participation by certain Directors and PDMRs in the Purchase are outlined in the table below:
