PDMR and Director Dealings

 

B.P. Marsh (AIM: BPM), the specialist investor in early-stage financial
services businesses, has been notified of the sale of Ordinary Shares of 10p
each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on 3 January 2025 at the open market
price of 741.25p per share by Ms. Alice Foulk, Managing Director, Mr. Dan
Topping, Chief Investment Officer and Ms. Francesca Chappell, Chief Finance
Officer.  The Ordinary Shares sold were held under the B.P. Marsh Joint Share
Ownership Plan (the "JSOP") ("JSOP Shares").

The JSOP was established on 13 June 2018 and announced by the Company on the
same date. On this date the Employee Participants entered into individual
Joint Ownership Agreements ("JOAs") with JTC Employer Solutions Trustee
Limited (formerly RBC Cees Trustee Limited) (the "EBT") as part of the
Company's remuneration and staff incentive arrangements.

The beneficial interests in the JSOP Shares are jointly held between the
relevant employee and the EBT. The terms of the JOAs included a minimum
vesting period of three years and, subject to the Employee Participant
remaining employed for this duration, state that upon sale of the vested
shares the proceeds of sale will be divided between the joint owners so that
the EBT receives 312.6p per share (which represents the Initial Threshold
Value of 281p plus a hurdle amount of 3.75% per annum during the vesting
period) and the Employee Participant is entitled to the balance of 428.65p per
share. The JOAs matured as fully vested on 13 June 2021 and Ms. Foulk, Mr.
Topping and Ms. Chappell have now exercised their right to sell 56,250 JSOP
Shares in aggregate.

Alice Foulk has sold 18,750 Ordinary Shares for a price of 741.25p per share.
