B.P. Marsh, the specialist investor in early-stage financial services
businesses, announces that on 20 April 2026 a further 16,512 ordinary shares
of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company have been granted to
eligible employees pursuant to a Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP") (as
announced originally on 29 March 2016).
Under the SIP, Ordinary Shares are acquired in three ways:
· Partnership Shares, where an employee can purchase up to £1,800
worth of shares;
· Matching Shares, where B.P. Marsh can give up to two free Matching
Shares for each Partnership Share bought; and
· Free Shares, where the Company can give each eligible employee up to
£3,600 worth of free shares in any tax year.
In accordance with the SIP's rules, a total of 12 eligible employees applied
for the 2026-27 SIP awards and have each been granted 551 Ordinary Shares
("2026-27 Free Shares"), representing £3,598.03 at a price of £6.53 per
Ordinary Share. Furthermore, all eligible employees have elected to take up
the opportunity to acquire 275 Ordinary Shares ("2026-27 Partnership Shares"),
equating to £1,795.75 at a price of £6.53 per Ordinary Share. For every
Partnership Share that an employee acquires, the SIP Trust has awarded two
free Ordinary Shares ("2026-27 Matching Shares") equating to 550 Ordinary
Shares to each participating employee. In aggregate, each eligible employee
will hold an additional 1,376 Ordinary Shares under the SIP. The 2026-27 Free
and Matching Shares are subject to a 1 year forfeiture period.
