("PHSC" or the "Company")
Transaction in Own Shares
PHSC (AIM: PHSC), a leading provider of health, safety, hygiene and
environmental consultancy services and security solutions to the public and
private sectors, announces that it yesterday made the following purchases of
ordinary shares of 10p each ("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to its share buyback
programme announced on 13 May 2021 (the "Buyback Programme"):
Date of purchases: 9 June 2021
Number of Ordinary Shares purchased (the 369,261
"Buyback Shares"):
Highest price paid per Ordinary Share: 21.81p
Lowest price paid per Ordinary Share: 21.5p
Volume weighted average price: 21.76p
The Company will hold the Buyback Shares in treasury. Following the repurchase
of the Buyback Shares set out above, the Company's issued share capital
consists of 13,407,360 Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares), and the
Company will hold 1,269,897 Ordinary Shares in treasury with no voting rights
attached. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 13,407,360.
This figure for the total number of voting rights 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
Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Directors' Dealings and Concert Party's Holding
As announced on 13 May 2021, the Board notes that certain of the Company's
directors, namely Stephen King (Chairman and CEO) and Nicola Coote (Deputy
Chairman and Deputy CEO) (the "Concert Party Directors"), co-founders and
longstanding executive directors of the Company, are deemed, along with their
respective spouses and close relatives, to be members of a concert party in
respect of the Company as defined in the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers
(the "City Code") (the "Concert Party").
Accordingly, the Concert Party Directors agreed, prior to any share purchases
occurring pursuant to the Buyback Programme, to enter into irrevocable
undertakings in respect of the Buyback Programme (the "Irrevocables"). Pursuant
to the terms of the Irrevocables, the Concert Party Directors have irrevocably
and unconditionally agreed to sell (in the case of Stephen King, via his SIPP
provider, the entity which holds the majority of his interest in the Ordinary
Shares) to the Company such number of Ordinary Shares as is required to ensure
that the existing aggregate percentage holding of the Concert Party does not
increase at any time as a result of the implementation of the Buyback
Programme.
Pursuant to the Irrevocables, the Buyback Shares above therefore include
Ordinary Shares acquired by the Company from Stephen King and Nicola Coote, as
detailed below along with their resulting interests:
Shareholder(s) Ordinary Shares sold Resulting holding of Resulting percentage
to the Company on 9 Ordinary Shares interest in the
