RNS Number : 1219I DX (Group) PLC 30 November 2022
AIM: DX.
DX (Group) plc
("DX", the "Company" or the "Group")
Director/PDMR Shareholding, Issue of Equity and
Total Voting Rights
DX, the provider of delivery solutions, including parcel freight, secure
courier and logistics services, announces that, on 28 November 2022, it
received a notification of exercise from David Mulligan, Chief Financial
Officer and a person discharging managerial responsibility of the Company
("PDMR"), in relation to 3,324,877 share options ("Options") over ordinary
shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of
1.0 pence (the "Exercise") pursuant to the Company's Performance Share Plan
2017 (the "PSP").
The Company has determined to reduce the number of Ordinary Shares to be
issued in respect of the Exercise equal to the tax liability that arises in
connection with the Exercise ("Net Settlement"). The Exercise becomes an
entitlement to receive a reduced number of Ordinary Shares (the "Adjusted
Award") and a cash amount (the "Cash Amount") equal to the value of the number
of Ordinary Shares by which the Options are reduced. The Company will then
ensure that the Cash Amount is paid directly to HMRC to discharge the tax
liability that arises as a result of the Exercise (with any surplus cash being
returned to David Mulligan). Accordingly, David Mulligan will receive
1,694,407 Ordinary Shares as the Adjusted Award and £423,922 as the Cash
Amount.
Following the Exercise, David Mulligan has a total beneficial shareholding of
4,163,348 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.71% of the Company's
enlarged issued share capital.
The notification below, which has been made in accordance with the
requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation, provides further detail.
Issue of Equity
In addition to David Mulligan, notifications of exercise have been received in
relation to 2,527,749 Options from 6 other participants in the PSP.
Accordingly, following Net Settlement of these Options, application has been
made for a total of 2,409,785 new Ordinary Shares to be issued to be admitted
to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m.
on or around 6 December 2022.
The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the
Company. Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital consists of
583,163,226 Ordinary Shares, each with voting rights. Accordingly, the figure
of 583,163,226 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.
Following the Exercise, there are options outstanding over 69,025,144 Ordinary
Shares, representing 11.84% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.
