Issue of Equity & PDMR Dealing
 
ZOO Digital Group plc, a world-leading provider of cloud-based localisation and digital distribution services to the global entertainment industry, announces that, on 12 August 2019, 26,500 options over ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") were exercised by certain employees of the Company.
Of these, Duncan Wain, Chief Operations Officer, exercised and sold 25,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 15 pence per Ordinary Share and a sales price of 74 pence per Ordinary Shares respectively.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 26,500 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and dealings are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on or around 19 August 2019. 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 74,459,771. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 74,459,771. 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 interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
