RNS Number : 4273D  Audioboom Group PLC  03 March 2022

 

Audioboom Group plc

("Audioboom", the "Group" or the "Company")

 

Director/PDMR Shareholding

Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading global podcast company, announces that, on
2 March, Michael Tobin OBE, the Chairman of the Company, exercised warrants
over 100,000 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary
Shares").

As a result, Michael Tobin's holding of ordinary shares in the Company will
increase to 425,186 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 2.66 per cent.
of the Company's issued share capital.

Application has been made for the admission of these new Ordinary Shares to
trading on AIM ("Admission").  It is expected that Admission will become
effective at 8am on 8 March.

Following Admission, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company will
comprise 15,957,286 ordinary shares with one voting right per share ("Ordinary
Shares").  The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury.
Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the
Company is 15,957,286. 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
share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.

The FCA notification in respect of the above, made in accordance with the
requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, is appended below.
