RNS Number : 4040N Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. 02 January 2026
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc.
("PPHC", the "Group" or the "Company")
Talent Acquisition, Share Cancellation and TVR
PPHC, a leading global strategic communications provider offering a
comprehensive range of advisory services in the areas of government relations,
corporate communications and public affairs, announces the acquisition of
senior talent, effective 1 January 2026.
Talent Acquisition with Established Book of Business
With effect from 1 January 2026, a senior professional with an established
client portfolio joined one of PPHC's subsidiary companies. This addition is
anticipated to enhance and broaden the acquiring subsidiary's offerings.
The total consideration payable in connection with this talent acquisition is
up to a maximum of $1 million, subject to achieving certain performance
targets in 2026 and 2027.
The total consideration comprises an initial consideration, of which 40% is
payable in PPHC common shares. The Company has therefore issued 6,579 new
common shares of $0.001 each (the "Common Shares") at a price of £11.2661 per
share to satisfy this initial share consideration. The Common Shares are
subject to customary vesting provisions designed to align long-term
performance, retention, and shareholder interests.
Share Cancellation
Separately, application has been made for 540 Common Shares to be cancelled
following the departure of an employee at the end of the 2025 financial year.
The cancellation is expected to take place on or around 6 January 2026.
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application will be made for the new Common Shares, 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 6 January 2026.
Following both the cancellation and issue of shares, the Company's total
issued and voting share capital upon admission will consist of 25,184,155
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.
