Restricted Shares Issuance

 

Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the leading government relations and
public affairs group of companies providing a comprehensive range of advisory
services, announces that it has granted restricted stock shares in the Company
which will rank pari passu with the Ordinary Shares ("RSs"),  under PPHC's
2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") that was adopted in connection
with the Group's admission to AIM in December 2021:

In total 177,447 RSs have been granted on 1 December 2023 under the Omnibus
Plan. The RSs will vest across a five-year period from the grant date, split
equally each year. All RSs will be subject to certain acceleration and
clawback events tied to continuation of employment and compliance with various
employment-related agreements.

 

Application will be made for the new RSs, which will rank pari passu with the
existing Common Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings
are expected to commence on or around 8 December  2023.

 

Following this issue of shares, the Company's total issued and voting share
capital upon admission will consist of 115,271,961 Common Shares. This figure
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, securities of the Company.

 

As set out in the Group's Admission Document, PPHC strives to attract and
retain high quality staff in order to best serve its clients. These Omnibus
Plan awards are being made in order to incentivise senior management through
equity-based awards, further aligning the interests of employee shareholders
with PPHC's core mission and objectives.
