*excluding 133,485 Ordinary Shares held in treasury.
A payment to the Company, for the tax liabilities on the vesting of the conditional share award, instead of withholding of shares.
The net amount of Shares received by two of the Directors and the Chief Legal Officer, as shown in the table above, from the vested LTIP awards was after payment of the associated tax liabilities.
No consideration was payable by each of the three Directors or by the other PDMR to receive the Shares from these LTIP awards.
The net number of Shares from these vested LTIP awards received by each of the three Directors and the other PDMR are subject to a two year post-vesting holding period.
Following this transaction, Keith Neilson holds 3,076,603 Shares which is 8.69% of the issued share capital* of the Company, Craig Preston holds 93,230 Shares which is 0.263% of the issued share capital* of the Company, Isabel Urquhart holds 12,879 Shares which is 0.036% of the issued share capital* of the Company and Eric Carter holds 20,665 Shares which is 0.058% of the issued share capital* of the Company.
Total Voting Rights
Following the vesting of these conditional share awards and also the vesting of conditional share awards for certain other employees on 18 November 2024 and the earlier exercise of SAYE share options by employees, in the period since 1 November 2024 the Company is transferring or has transferred a total of 65,968 Ordinary Shares previously held in treasury to satisfy the transactions. As a result, the Company's issued share capital now consists of 35,542,169 Ordinary Shares, of which 133,485 remain held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 35,408,684. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
