Issue of Equity
Total Voting Rights
and Sale and Transfer of Ordinary Shares by the ZOO Employee
Share Trust Limited
ZOO Digital Group plc, the provider of localisation and digital
distribution services for the global entertainment industry,
announces that, on 25 April 2018, 10,000 ordinary shares of 1 penny
each in the share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") were
allotted pursuant to an exercise of options over Ordinary Shares by
certain employees of the Company.
Application will shortly be made to the London Stock Exchange
for the 10,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission") and dealings are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on
or around 1 May 2018. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu
with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following Admission
will be 73,783,655. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury.
The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore
73,783,655. This number 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.
Sale and Transfer of Ordinary Shares by the ZOO Employee Share
Trust Limited
The Company was notified on 25 April 2018 that on that date the
ZOO Employee Share Trust Limited ("ZEST"), sold 8,800 Ordinary
Shares at a price of 99.033 pence per Ordinary Share on behalf of
employees who held Ordinary Shares through ZEST and additionally
transferred 2,800 Ordinary Shares at nil cost to an
ex-employee.
ZEST is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZOO, the purpose of which
is to hold shares in ZOO for the benefit of the employees of the
Group, some of the Ordinary Shares are held on trust for specific
employees and the balance are held with ZEST as beneficiary, to be
awarded in the future. The Company notes that, as Stuart Green and
Helen Gilder are trustees of ZEST and are potential beneficiaries
of ZEST, they are therefore treated as having an interest in the
Ordinary Shares held by ZEST.
Following the above transaction, ZEST holds a total of 263,435
Ordinary Shares; of which ZEST as beneficiary holds 186,997
Ordinary Shares and ZEST, on behalf of specific employees holds
76,438 Ordinary Shares.
