FRP Advisory Group plc, a leading national specialist business advisory firm,

BridgeShield's Directors, Ben Hubbard and Nick McAuliffe will join FRP as
Partners. The rest of the team will also join FRP, including three colleagues
and two consultants.

 

Geoff Rowley, FRP CEO said: "Ben and Nick have built a great business and have
worked with FRP for many years. They share our values and will be able to
accelerate their growth by joining the Group. We will benefit from expanding
our service offering to cover Asset Management services to specialist lenders
and welcome the team to FRP."

Ben Hubbard, founder of BridgeShield, said: "We are delighted to be joining
FRP with whom we have worked for the last five years and this cements what has
been a fantastic working relationship.  We are genuinely excited by the new
growth opportunities this represents, whilst enabling us to continue to
provide our existing clients with an industry leading level of service"

 

393,700 new ordinary shares (the "Consideration Shares") are to be issued as
part of the transaction with application to be made to trading on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). The Consideration Shares
will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares. It is
expected that Admission of the Consideration Shares will become effective and
that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 4 May 2022. Following Admission,
the Company will have 243,585,189 ordinary shares in issue with each ordinary
share carrying the right to one vote.  The above 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 under the
Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
