Sopheon, the international provider of software and services for Enterprise
Innovation Management solutions, announces that, following the exercise of
options by an employee, it has allotted 15,112 new Ordinary Shares of 20 pence
each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Application will be made for the new
Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to
commence on 26 May 2022.
Greg Coticchia, the Company's CEO, acquired 5,100 of these shares at a price
of £5.45 per share being the closing price on Friday 20 May 2022. Following
this transaction, Mr Coticchia's total beneficial interest in Ordinary Shares
is 5,100 Ordinary Shares. The remaining 10,012 shares were purchased by the
Company's Employee Benefit Trust.
The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing
Ordinary Shares. The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following
Admission will be 10,610,104. The Company does not hold any shares in
treasury. Accordingly, the figure of 10,610,104 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 the
Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
