Darktrace plc
("Darktrace")
Issue and allotment of Shares and Total Voting Rights
Darktrace announces the issue of shares to settle pre-IPO obligations to two members of the advisory council. Darktrace has issued and allotted an aggregate of 82,708 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in Darktrace (the "New Shares"). An application has been made for the New Shares to be admitted to the Premium Listing Segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with Darktrace's existing ordinary shares of £0.01 nominal value each ("Ordinary Shares"). It is expected that admission will become effective on 25 July 2022.
As a result of the 82,708 New Shares issued, the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding is 701,868,061. Each Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote. Darktrace has 2,038,774 Ordinary Shares as treasury shares with no voting rights. Therefore as at the close of business on 25 July 2022 the total voting rights figure of 699,829,287 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, Darktrace under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
