Exercise of Options, PDMR dealing and Total Voting Rights

 

 

13 December 2023 Allergy Therapeutics plc (AIM: AGY), the integrated commercial biotechnology company specialising in allergy vaccines, announces that, further to his intention outlined in the mandatory offer document published on 19 October 2023, Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, exercised options over 1,676,200 ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company on 16 November 2023, which were granted at nominal value pursuant to the Company's 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan. The Ordinary Shares were issued and subsequently admitted to trading on 1 December 2023 pursuant to the Company's block admission facility.

 

Following the option exercise, Manuel Llobet holds 5,001,200 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 0.10% of the issued share capital of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Company's block admission facility, the Company also issued 888,967 Ordinary Shares in satisfaction of the exercise of share options by certain other current and former employees. These Ordinary Shares were also admitted to trading on 1 December 2023. The share options were exercised prior to or on 16 November 2023 as a result of the recent equity financing that constituted a change of control for the purposes of the Company's Long Term Share Incentive Plan. Any options not exercised by 16 November 2023 have lapsed.

 

The new Ordinary Shares rank pari passu with the Company's existing shares.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

In accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, as at 13 December 2023, the Company has 4,766,439,938 Ordinary Shares in issue. There are no shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 4,766,439,938.

 

The above figure of 4,766,439,938 may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
