Darktrace plc
("Darktrace")
Issue and allotment of Shares under the Award Incentive Plan and Total Voting Rights
Darktrace announces the exercise of options granted under its Darktrace plc 2021 Award Incentive Plan to a member of the advisory council. The Company has therefore issued and allotted an aggregate of 125,000 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company (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 1 penny each ("Ordinary Shares"). It is expected that admission will become effective on 24 November 2021.
As a result of the 125,000 ordinary shares issued, the total number of ordinary shares outstanding is 699,011,705. Each Ordinary Share carries the right to one vote. Darktrace does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights figure of 699,011,705 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.
