Walker Crips Group plc ("Walker Crips" or the "Company"), the financial services group, announces that an aggregate of 668,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of Company (the "Shares") have been issued and allotted to personnel associated with the Company in order to meet contractual commitments given as part of the recent successful expansion of its client base. It has been agreed that onward sales of the Shares will be restricted for the period until April 2019.

Application is being made to the UK Listing Authority for the Shares to be admitted to the Official List and application is being made to the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market for listed securities. It is expected that such admission will become effective and that dealings will commence in the Shares at 8.00 am on 17 April 2013.

Including the Shares the Company has 37,731,187 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 6 2/3 pence each ('Ordinary Shares') in issue with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. The Company holds 750,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the Company has 36,981,187 Ordinary Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) and the total number of voting rights in the Company is 36,981,187.

The above figure of 36,981,187 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, Walker Crips Group plc under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
