RNS Number : 6930W Allergy Therapeutics PLC 13 December 2023
Allergy Therapeutics plc
("Allergy Therapeutics", or the "Company")
Exercise of Options, PDMR dealing and Total Voting Rights
13 December 2023 Allergy Therapeutics plc (AIM: AGY), the integrated
commercial biotechnology company specialising in allergy vaccines, announces
that, further to his intention outlined in the mandatory offer document
published on 19 October 2023, Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, exercised options over 1,676,200 ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares")
in the Company on 16 November 2023, which were granted at nominal value
pursuant to the Company's 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Ordinary Shares
were issued and subsequently admitted to trading on 1 December 2023 pursuant
to the Company's block admission facility.
Following the option exercise, Manuel Llobet holds 5,001,200 Ordinary Shares
in the Company, representing approximately 0.10% of the issued share capital
of the Company.
Pursuant to the Company's block admission facility, the Company also issued
888,967 Ordinary Shares in satisfaction of the exercise of share options by
certain other current and former employees. These Ordinary Shares were also
admitted to trading on 1 December 2023. The share options were exercised prior
to or on 16 November 2023 as a result of the recent equity financing that
constituted a change of control for the purposes of the Company's Long Term
Share Incentive Plan. Any options not exercised by 16 November 2023 have
lapsed.
The new Ordinary Shares rank pari passu with the Company's existing shares.
Total Voting Rights
In accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules, as at 13 December 2023, the Company has
4,766,439,938 Ordinary Shares in issue. There are no shares held in treasury.
The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 4,766,439,938.
The above figure of 4,766,439,938 may be used by shareholders in the Company
as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they
are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in,
the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
