("Time Finance", the "Group" or the "Company")
Exercise of Employee Options and Director/PDMR Shareholdings
Time Finance plc, the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, announces that as a result of exercises of nil cost share options ("Options") under the Company's Unapproved Share Option Scheme (the "Scheme") on 26 May 2021, the Company has made application for a total of 2,138,500 new ordinary shares in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari-passu with existing ordinary shares and it is expected that admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 2 June 2021 ("Admission").
Of the New Ordinary Shares, an aggregate of 1,236,508 New Ordinary Shares have been sold at a price of 31.65 pence per New Ordinary Shares to meet tax liabilities and national insurance contributions arising from the exercises of Options, with the balance of the New Ordinary Shares being retained by the participants in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.
Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM, the Group's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 92,512,704 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company following admission will be 92,512,704. 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 the Group under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
