GATELEY (HOLDINGS) PLC
("Gateley" or the "Group" or the "Company")
(AIM: GTLY)
GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS ("RSAs"), PDMR DEALING
AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS
Gateley, the professional services group, announces that on 2 February the Company granted RSAs over 514,709 Ordinary Shares of 10 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to new joiner senior employees. These awards have all been satisfied from existing Ordinary Shares already held by the Gateley Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT").
These nil consideration RSAs vest on award receipt, are entitled to dividends and voting, and are subject to a five-year non-dealing restriction including forfeiture should the recipient's employment end or be terminated within that restricted period. RSAs form part of the Group's progressive incentivisation and equity recirculation plan. It is a continuation of the Board's strategy to differentiate the position of senior employees and directors at Gateley from that of a partner in traditionally structured professional services businesses.
Of the 2 February RSA grants, 98,039 RSAs have been granted to John Paton, Chief Financial Officer Designate and a person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"). Following this RSA grant, John Paton holds 98,039 RSAs and, including these, he and his immediate family are beneficially interested in an aggregate 148,039 Ordinary Shares representing 0.11% of the Company's total voting rights.
As these awards are satisfied from existing shares held by the Company's EBT there is no change in the Company's issued share capital. The Company maintains 137,271,513 Ordinary Shares in issue, with no shares held in treasury. This total number of voting rights above 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 under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
