RNS Number : 0099G  Lords Group Trading PLC  04 November 2025

4 November 2025

 

Lords Group Trading plc

('Lords, the 'Company' or the 'Group')

 

Block Admission and Total Voting Rights

 

Lords, a leading distributor of building materials in the UK, announces that
application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for a block
admission of 92,231 ordinary shares of £0.005 each in the capital of the
Company ("Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM (the "New Block
Admission").

 

The New Block Admission relates to Ordinary Shares which may be issued from
time to time on the exercise(s) of existing nil cost options to subscribe for
new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Group's 2022 Deferred Bonus Plan. The
award of the 2022 Deferred Bonus Plan options was announced by the Company on
27 May 2022.

 

It is expected that the New Block Admission will become effective on 7
November 2025.

 

The New Block Admission is in addition to the Company's existing block
admission in respect of the issue of New Ordinary Shares from time to time
pursuant to the Group's 2021 Deferred Bonus Plan (the "Existing Block
Admission"). At 4 November 2025, 223,128 Ordinary Shares remain subject to the
Existing Block Admission.

 

Therefore, and on the New Block Admission becoming effective, the Company will
have an aggregate of 315,459 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.19% of the
Company's issued ordinary share capital, admitted under block admission
arrangements.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

The Company's total issued ordinary share capital consists of 166,231,688
Ordinary Shares with voting rights.

 

The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the
total number of voting rights in the Company is 166,231,688 and this 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
