Johnson Matthey PLC (JMAT) - Amendment to Official List

RNS Number: 231218

Johnson Matthey PLC

6 August 2012

Amendment to Official List, Share Consolidation and Total Voting Rights

Further to the approval of the special dividend with associated share consolidation at Johnson Matthey Plc's (the "Company") AGM on 25 July 2012, the Company's share consolidation became effective this morning.

The Company's new ordinary shares of 104¹⁶⁄₂₁ pence each were admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and commenced trading on the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 am UK time today.

As a result of the share consolidation taking place, a fraction of 0.2273 of a treasury share was in issue. This has been cancelled today following the effective time of the share consolidation.

Also following the share consolidation, one new ordinary share was allotted.

For the purposes of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 8.00 am on 6 August 2012 (the effective time of the share consolidation) consisted of 204,917,749 new ordinary shares of 104¹⁶⁄₂₁ pence each, carrying one vote each.  As at 8.00 am on 6 August 2012, the Company held 5,725,246 shares in treasury and is not permitted to exercise voting rights in respect of those shares.  

For the avoidance of doubt, the figures referred to above take into account the cancellation of the fraction of the treasury share and the allotment of the additional new ordinary share.

The decrease in the issued share capital and total voting rights results from the consolidation of shares. 

The above figure of 204,917,749 total voting rights 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 Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
