Share Buyback and Total Voting Rights
Sanne Group plc (the "Company"), a specialist provider of outsourced corporate and fund administration services to alternative asset managers, financial institutions and corporates, announces that on 2 September 2015, it purchased 186,500 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Company to be held in treasury for a total consideration of, in aggregate, £1. The shares were purchased in accordance with the terms of a restricted sale agreement entered into with an employee shareholder at the time of the Company's IPO in April 2015.
Following the purchase, the Company has 116,000,000 ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue of which 186,500 are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 115,813,500 and may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules.
Note 11 of the Company's Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 incorrectly described the 2,998,249 shares held by the Sanne Group Employees' Share Trust (the "EBT") as being "Treasury shares". Whilst shares held by the EBT are deemed to be held in treasury form under applicable accounting standards the shares are designated as ordinary shares, carry voting rights and are not held in treasury.
