Total Voting Rights

 

ReNeuron Group plc (the "Company") (AIM: RENE), a UK-based global leader in the development of cell-based therapeutics, announces that it has received notices to exercise options from certain employees and a PDMR of the Company to subscribe for a total of 12,478 new ordinary shares of 1 pence in the Company. The exercise price of the options is £1.00 per share.

On 12 April 2019, Michael Hunt, Chief Financial Officer, exercised options over 3,478 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company at an exercise price of £1.00 per share. In order to achieve a cashless exercise and pay the relevant taxes, on 12 April 2019 Mr Hunt sold 988 shares at a share price of £2.47 and therefore retains 2,490 shares.

As a result of the exercise and share transaction, Mr Hunt's interest in ordinary shares has increased to 30,036 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.095% of the Company's issued share capital.

Total voting rights

Following the issue of 12,478 ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of options described above and exercised through its existing blocklisting arrangements, the Company has 31,658,664 ordinary shares in issue, all with voting rights. The Company holds no ordinary shares in treasury. The above figure of 31,658,664 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
