Time Finance plc
("Time Finance", the "Group" or the "Company")
Exercise of Share Options and Director/PDMR Shareholdings
Time Finance plc, the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, announces the exercise of share options ("Options") under the Company's 2022 Unapproved Share Option Scheme (the "Scheme").
The exercise of 411,667 historically awarded nil cost Options under the Scheme by Ed Rimmer, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, have been satisfied through the allocation of existing ordinary shares held by the Time Finance Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") and, as such, no new ordinary shares have been issued in connection with the Option exercise.
Mr. Rimmer has retained all of the Options exercised and, as a result, Ed Rimmer is now beneficially interested in an increased 1,331,498 ordinary shares, representing 1.4% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital.
The total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company remains at 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.
The notification below, provided in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, provides further details.
