Global Ports Holding PLC (GPH)
For immediate release 18 AUGUST 2023 Global Ports Holding PLC (“GPH” or the “Company”) Issue of new Ordinary Shares under the LTIP
GPH today announces the issue of 66,600 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each (the “LTIP Shares”) in the capital of the Company at an issue price equal to nominal value (the “Issue Price”) under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) (the “LTIP Share Issuance”) as previously announced on 14 July 2023. The table below sets out PDMR participation in the LTIP Share Issuance. The notification of Dealing Forms for each PDMR can be found at the end of this announcement.
Applications will be made for the LTIP Shares to be admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc. It is expected that admission of the LTIP Shares (“Admission”) will take place at or around 8.00 a.m. (London time) on or around 23 August 2023 (or such later date or time as the Company may decide). Following Admission, the Company will have 68,038,008 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue, of which the LTIP Shares will represent approximately 0.098%. GPH does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury and therefore the total number of ordinary shares in the Company with voting rights will be 68,038,008. This figure may be used by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, GPH under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
