NOTIFICATION OF PDMR DEALING AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

 

Chesnara (CSN.L), the European life insurance consolidator, today announces
that PDMRs Steve Murray and David Rimmington have exercised options over
98,532 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") as a result of the vesting of the awards made under the
2014 Chesnara Long Term Incentive Plan and 2014 Chesnara Short Term Incentive
Scheme.  Of these, 48,864 Ordinary Shares were sold to cover liability to tax
and national insurance contributions arising on vesting, with the balance
being retained.  The allotment of the 98,532 Ordinary Shares has been
satisfied via the Group's existing block listing arrangements.

 

Further, in conformity with 5.6.1 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules, as at the date of this announcement and following the exercise of
options noted above, the Company's issued share capital consisted of
150,954,119 Ordinary Shares and, with no Ordinary Shares in Treasury, this too
was the number of voting rights.

 

This figure of 150,954,119 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 Company under the
FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
