Director/PDMR Shareholding and related party transaction
The Company announces that it has granted a share award to a PDMR of 153,288 new ordinary shares in the Company.
The Company will apply for admission to trading of 153,288 shares on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will occur on 20 November 2019.
Total voting rights
Following Admission, the issued share capital of the Company will comprise 39,960,551 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 39,960,551. The above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Related Party Transaction
The loan facility granted by HPB Pension Trust has been amended. The maturity date has been extended by to 30 June 2020, the loan amount to £10m and the interest rate changed to 7%.
The amendment of the loan agreement constitutes a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules as the lenders are related parties under the AIM Rules.
The independent directors of the Company, having consulted with Peel Hunt LLP in its capacity as the Company's nominated adviser for the purposes of the AIM Rules, consider the terms of the transaction to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
