27 April 2022

APQ Global Limited

("APQ Global" or the "Company")

 

Issue of Equity and PDMR/Director Shareholding

 

APQ Global Limited, a company incorporated in Guernsey, has issued a total of
26,578 ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") to employees as part of the 2018 management share-based
compensation scheme (the "Scheme"), including Bart Turtelboom, Chief Executive
Officer and a Director of the Company, who has received 23,366 Ordinary
Shares.

 

The Ordinary Shares being awarded under the Scheme were subject to historic
performance criteria, being the increase in book value plus dividends paid for
the period to 31 December 2017, relative to the book value at the admission
and commencement of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM on 26 August 2016.
The price used in calculating the number of shares awarded under the 2018
Scheme was the book value per share as at 31 December 2017 of 128.11 US cents.

 

Following this issue of Ordinary Shares, Mr Turtelboom is interested in
22,402,221 Ordinary Shares in the Company representing 28.54 per cent. of the
Company's issued share capital.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

Application has been made for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on
AIM. It is expected that admission will occur and dealings in the Ordinary
Shares will commence on or around 3 May 2022 ("Admission").

 

Following Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will be
78,506,827 Ordinary Shares, with voting rights.  The Company does not hold
any Ordinary Shares in treasury.

 

Following Admission, the above figure of 78,506,827 Ordinary Shares 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
change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the
Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
