Cenkos Securities plc

("Cenkos" or the "Company")

Award of shares under Share Incentive Plan and Director/PDMR Dealings

Cenkos recently launched the terms of the 2017/18 allowance under the Company's HM Revenue and Customs approved SIP scheme (the "SIP") to all employees. All employees, including the executive directors of the Company and PDMRs ("Qualifying Employees"), may participate in the SIP.

The SIP is an all-employee trust arrangement approved by HM Revenue and Customs under which Qualifying Employees are able to purchase ordinary shares in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") up to a value of £1,800 ("Partnership Shares") using a lump sum deduction from their salary. Qualifying Employees purchasing Partnership Shares will also be allocated matching Ordinary Shares on a two-for-one basis ("Matching Shares") up to a total value of £3,600 from the Company's Employee Benefit Trust. In addition, a further £3,600 in value of Ordinary Shares has been awarded to each Qualifying Employee under the SIP ("Free Shares") from the Company's Employee Benefit Trust.

The Executive Directors of the Company, Anthony Hotson, Paul Hodges, Joe Nally and Philip Anderson* (the "Participating Directors") have each subscribed £1,800 to acquire Partnership Shares under the 2017/18 SIP allowance and as a result will each also be awarded a further £3,600 of Matching Shares and Free Shares with a value of £3,600 from the Company's Employee Benefit Trust under the SIP.

Following the purchase of the Partnership Shares in the market in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SIP on 25 January 2018 by Link Market Services Trustees the Executive Directors have each been issued Partnership Shares at a price of 107p each, Matching Shares at an effective issue price of 114.5p each and Free Shares at a price of 111.5p each under the SIP.

Accordingly, the Executive Directors' new shareholdings in the Company are set out in the table below:

Directors	Number of Partnership Shares awarded	Number of Matching Shares awarded	Number of Free Shares awarded	Total Ordinary Shares held	% of Issued Ordinary Share Capital
Anthony Hotson	1,682	3,364	3,228	68,274	0.12%
Paul Hodges	1,683	3,366	3,228	5,101,465	9.22%
Joe Nally	1,683	3,366	3,228	1,076,048	1.95%
Philip Anderson *	1,682	3,364	3,228	106,300	0.19%

* The Company is currently waiting for FCA approval in respect of Philp Anderson's appointment as an Executive Director of the Company.

As at 26 January 2018, the Company has 55,310,035 Ordinary Shares in issue.

The notifications set out below, made in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation, provide further detail in relation to the award of Ordinary Shares to the Participating Directors and to two PDMRs of the Company.
