Issue of Shares, Director/PDMR Dealings and Total Voting Rights

 

EMV Capital Plc (AIM: EMVC), the deep tech and life sciences VC investment
group, announces the issue of 200,141 new ordinary shares of 5 pence each in
the capital of the Company (Ordinary Shares) to certain of its directors and a
PDMR in satisfaction of annual bonuses and fees (New Shares). The New Shares
are being issued at a price of £0.55 per share. In addition, certain
directors of the Company have purchased a total of 31,638 Ordinary Shares.

Issue of New Shares

Directors of the Company, Ilian Iliev, Ed Hooper, Jonathan Robinson and PDMR,
Nick Salisbury, have agreed to receive New Shares (as detailed in the table
below) in settlement of amounts owed to them by the Company rather than
settlement in cash.

Such amounts owed are in the case of Ilian Iliev and Ed Hooper in respect of a
proportion of the annual bonus awarded to them for the year ended 31 December
2024, in the case of Jonathan Robinson in respect of a proportion of
outstanding fees and in the case of Nick Salisbury in respect of a proportion
of a bonus payment for 2025. The New Shares are being issued at a price of
£0.55 per share, being the average of the closing mid-market share price for
the Ordinary Shares over the five dealing days prior to the date of this
announcement.

 Ilian Iliev        127,273                      £70,000.15

Company's existing ordinary shares.
