Vesting and exercise of options and RSUs and issue of equity

Alpha FMC (AIM: AFM), a leading global provider of specialist consultancy services to the asset management, wealth management and insurance industries, announces that, following recent options exercises by certain employees under the Company's Employee Incentive Plan ("EIP"), application has been made for 2,400 new ordinary shares of 0.075p each in the capital of the Company ("NewOrdinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, and it is expected that admission will become effective, and that trading in the New Ordinary Shares will commence, on or around 5 December 2022.

A total of 212,373 share options which previously vested under the Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"), Joint Share Ownership Plan ("JSOP") and EIP have also been exercised. Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") under the EIP and MIP also vested and 31,511 shares have been transferred to employees.  The Company will satisfy these awards using existing shares held in the Alpha Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT").

Following the above and subsequent to admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 120,509,736 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 6,297,522 are held in the Company's Employee Benefit Trust.  No shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 114,212,214. 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 under the FCA's  Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
