As part of the exercise of some options by Mark Selby, he sold 18,000 Employee Shareholder Status (ESS) shares in the Company's subsidiary, Ceres Power Intermediate Holdings Ltd, which were granted as a modification to the unexercised 2004 Employees' Share Scheme options in 2013.
The Company remuneration policy on PDMR shareholding is that the CEO should hold a minimum of 150% of salary in shares and exercisable share options, and all other Directors and PDMRs a minimum of 100% of salary. This policy helps to ensure that the interests of the investors remain aligned with those of Directors and management.  Following the above transactions, the PDMRs above each retain a combined value of shareholdings and exercisable options significantly above these thresholds.
 
Total Voting Rights
As at 7 April 2021, the Company's issued share comprised 186,021,467 Ordinary Shares, with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. The total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company is therefore 186,021,467.
This figure 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
