finnCap Group plc
Option Exercise, Director Dealing Amendment and Total Voting Rights
finnCap Group plc (AIM: FCAP) (the "Company") today announces that Sam Smith, an executive director of the Company, has exercised options over 1,685,714 ordinary shares at an exercise price of 5p per share under the finnCap EMI Plan.
Following these transactions, Sam Smith has a beneficial interest in 17,830,000 ordinary shares, representing 9.93% of the Company's issued share capital.
The Company's ordinary shares referred to above are finnCap Group plc ordinary shares of 1 penny each and, following the issue of 1,685,714 ordinary shares pursuant to Sam's option exercise, the total number of shares in issue is 179,587,394.
On 6 July 2021 it was announced that Tom Hayward, an executive director of the Company, transferred 52,661 ordinary shares from his personal holding into his ISA. However, due to an error by the ISA administrator, only 52,560 ordinary shares were actually acquired by his ISA. Tom's holding is therefore 101 ordinary shares lower than the 4,041,428 announced in July. Tom has a beneficial interest in 4,041,327 ordinary shares, representing 2.25% of the Company's currently issued share capital.
Further details on these transactions are included in the notifications below, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation which is part of English law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
