RNS Number : 4530M  Keywords Studios PLC  29 April 2024

29 April 2024

Keywords Studios plc

("Keywords Studios", "the Company")

 

Block Admission

The Company announces that an application has been made for a block admission
to trading on AIM in respect of 200,000 ordinary shares of 1p each ("New
Ordinary Shares") in the share capital of the Company (the "Block
Admission").  It is expected that the Block Admission will become effective
on 3 May 2024.

 

The New Ordinary Shares will be issued from time to time pursuant to the
Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

When issued, the New Ordinary Shares will be credited as fully paid and will
rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

 

The Block Admission is considered adequate for anticipated exercises of
options under the Incentive Schemes for the foreseeable future.

 

As at 29 April 2024, the Company's issued share capital consisted of
79,528,370 ordinary shares of 1p each with voting rights. The Company's issued
share capital will not change as a result of the Block Admission. The Company
does not hold any ordinary shares in Treasury.

 

There are 594,395 Ordinary Shares in the Company's Employee Benefit Trust
("EBT"), and the EBT has waived its right to exercise its voting rights and to
receive dividends in respect of these Ordinary Shares.

Therefore, the number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights is 78,933,975.
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 Financial
Conduct Authority's DTR.
