RNS Number : 1366S Public Policy Holding Company, Inc. 23 July 2025
23 July 2025
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc.
("PPHC", the "Group" or the "Company")
Vesting of RSUs, Issue of Shares, PDMR Dealing and TVR
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the leading government relations, public
affairs and strategic communications group, announces that it has issued
927,355 new Common Shares of $0.001 each (the "Common Shares"). These new
Common Shares are in relation to Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") previously
granted to a broad range of its current employee base, including certain
Directors and senior employees ("PDMRs") of the Company, which have vested in
accordance with the terms of the RSUs (one-third vesting annually).
As set out in the announcement dated 27 June 2024, the Company granted a total
of 2,930,000 RSUs under its Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") that was
adopted in connection with the Group's admission to AIM in December 2021. Of
this tranche, 1,074,000 were granted to PDMRs (including Executive Directors
and other senior management). Of the 927,355 vested RSUs, 236,004 are held by
PDMRs (including Executive Directors and other senior management).
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 29 July 2025.
Following this issue of shares, the Company's total issued and voting share
capital upon admission will consist of 125,459,377 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.
