Block Listing Application

Polar Capital Holdings Plc announces that an application ("the Application") has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the block listing of securities in respect of an aggregate total of 1,350,514 ordinary shares of 2.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The Application relates to Ordinary Shares that may be issued as a result of the crystallisation of preference shares, previously announced on 11 November 2021 (RNS No: 0101S)

It is expected that admission will become effective on 16 November 2021.

When issued, the Ordinary Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 2.5 pence each in the capital of the Company.

The Company's current issued share capital is 100,113,855 ordinary shares and following admission of the 135,052 new ordinary shares, the total ordinary shares in issue will be 100,248,907 shares.

The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. The Company will notify on a monthly basis when there are changes to the issued share capital of the Company, and these monthly figures may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
