("Staffline", the "Company" or the "Group")

 

Director / PDMR Shareholding and Total Voting Rights

 

Staffline (AIM: STAF), the recruitment and training group, announces that on
27 March 2023, the following individuals were awarded ordinary shares of 10p
each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") in relation to the proportion of their
respective annual bonuses for the financial year ended 31 December 2022
payable in Ordinary Shares.

 

The Ordinary Shares awarded to PDMRs are set out in the table below.

 

 Director/ PDMR    Position                 Shares awarded
 Albert Ellis      Chief Executive Officer  72,884
 Daniel Quint      Chief Financial Officer  35,837
 Martina McKenzie  MD Recruitment Ireland   36,676
 Frank Atkinson    MD Recruitment GB        36,676
 Kenny Boyle       MD PeoplePlus            16,047

 

Accordingly, the Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") is transferring to the above
listed individuals a total of 198,120 Ordinary Shares. These Ordinary Shares
are being transferred at an effective price of £0.3666 pence per Ordinary
Share, based on the average closing mid-market price four business days
immediately prior to the award.

 

Albert Ellis and Daniel Quint now hold 645,291 and 484,914 Ordinary Shares,
respectively, representing 0.39% per cent. and 0.29% per cent. of the issued
share capital of the Company.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

Following the transfer of the 198,120 Ordinary Shares from the EBT, the total
number of Ordinary Shares in issue remains unchanged at 165,767,728, of which
3,316,391 are now held by the EBT. The Company does not hold any shares in
treasury, therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares carrying voting rights
is 162,451,337. This number 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 interests in, the Company under the
FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
