Issue of Equity and Exercise of Options
The Company announces that a total of 278,506 ordinary shares of one pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") are to be issued to cover the exercise of options in the Company.
The Company has made an application to the London Stock Exchange for the 278,506 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will become effective on or around 1 August 2018.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 87,778,302 Ordinary Shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury, therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 87,778,302. This 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 in their interest in, the share capital of the Company.
Block Listing Application
Joules also announces that an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for a block listing admission of 4,605,000 Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the following schemes:
· Long Term Incentive Plan (3,000,000 Ordinary Shares)
· Save As You Earn Scheme (1,010,000 Ordinary Shares)
· Deferred Bonus Plan (465,000 Ordinary Shares)
· Executive Share Option Plan (130,000 Ordinary Shares)
The total amount of 4,605,000 Ordinary Shares represents the maximum potential award over the lifetime of these schemes, as set out in more detail in the Company's annual report and accounts.
These new Ordinary Shares will be issued from time to time pursuant to the exercise of employee share options under these various schemes. On exercise, these new Ordinary Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares. It is expected that admission will become effective on 2 August 2018.
