Director/PDMR Shareholding and Issue of Equity

 

Intercede, the leading cybersecurity software company specialising in digital identities, today received a notification of exercise from Klaas van der Leest, Chief Executive Officer, in relation to 130,000 share options ("Options") over ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an exercise price of 27.0 pence pursuant to the Company's Enterprise Management Incentive Plan (the "Exercise").

 

Following the Exercise, Mr Van der Leest has an increased shareholding of 1,031,572 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 1.77% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.

Issue of Equity

Accordingly, application has been made for 130,000 new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Exercise to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 21 June 2024.

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company. Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital consists of 58,493,357 Ordinary Shares, each with voting rights. The Company holds 131,645 Ordinary Shares in treasury, therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 58,361.712. Accordingly, the figure of 58,361,712 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 the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Following the Exercise, there are total options outstanding over 3,935,705 Ordinary Shares, representing 6.74% of the Company's issued share capital.
