FRP Advisory Group plc, a leading UK professional services firm specialising in advisory services, has been notified that, on 4 January 2022, 3,781,865 ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company were transferred to JTC Employer Solutions Trustee Limited as trustees of the FRP Advisory Group plc Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT") for nil consideration, from a former Partner of the Group.
The EBT is a discretionary trust that was established on IPO for the benefit of employees (including Partners) and operates in connection with the FRP Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP"). It was initially funded via vendor Partners gifting 18,750,000 Ordinary Shares into the EBT on IPO. The EBT has waived its rights to dividends. The Ordinary Shares held by the EBT will be used, in accordance with the EIP, to satisfy awards made to both existing Partners and employees and to incentivise and attract new colleagues. Following the commencement of options vesting from 6 March 2023, Ordinary Shares will be transferred to employees (including Partners) and dividend rights will accrue.
Following the above transaction, the EBT holds a total of 22,531,865 Ordinary Shares representing 9.27 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
