RNS Number : 1744Z  EPE Special Opportunities Limited  12 May 2023

EPE Special Opportunities Limited

 

Vesting of the Share Matching Scheme and PDMR Shareholdings

 

Vesting of the Share Matching Scheme

EPE Special Opportunities Limited (the "Company") announces that, on 11 May
2023 in the offices of the Company's administrator, certain awards made under
the Company's share matching scheme (the "Scheme") vested to certain members
of the Board of Directors and EPIC Investment Partners LLP ("EPIC"), the
Company's investment advisor (the "Participants") (the "Vesting").

As a result of the Vesting, the Participants' interests in jointly held
vesting ordinary shares ("Matching Shares") have increased such that the
Participants now hold the entire beneficial interest in the Matching Shares
(as opposed to just a portion of the beneficial interest) and the Participants
now hold the full legal title to those ordinary shares.

The interests in the Matching Shares were transferred to Participants from the
Company's employee benefit trust. The number of ordinary shares in issue, not
held by the Company in treasury, is unchanged by the Vesting and remains
29,876,847 ordinary shares (which should be used as the denominator for
calculations of interests in the Company's voting rights).

 

PDMR Shareholding

 

Certain members of EPIC and certain Directors of the Company (being PDMRs of
the Company) have received the entire beneficial interest and legal title to
the Matching Shares as part of the Vesting described above. The details of the
Matching Shares received by PDMRs are provided below:

Note 1: PDMRs acquired an interest in each ordinary share for the price given
("Interest Price"). The Interest Price was calculated in relation to the size
of interest purchased (i.e. size of the interest not already held by the
PDMR), the Company's closing price on the day prior to the Vesting and the
Company's closing price on the day prior to the granting of the share matching
award.
