Completion of

the acquisition of Fieldings Investment Management Ltd

and

the Placing of 2,585,000 New Fiske Shares

Disclosure of significant shareholdings and dealings

On 27 July 2017 Fiske plc ("Fiske" or  the "Company") announced the proposed acquisition of Fieldings Investment Management Ltd and the Placing of 2,585,000 New Fiske Shares both of which were conditional on the passing of certain resolutions at a general meeting of Fiske and the admission of the New Fiske Shares to AIM ("Admission").  Both of these conditions have been satisfied and the Acquisition and Placing have now completed.

Following Admission of the New Fiske Shares this morning, the issued share capital of the Company now comprises 11,560,205 Fiske Shares with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company is 11,560,205. The above figure 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

James Harrison and Martin Perrin, who are directors of Fiske have notified the Company dealings in Fiske Shares in respect of their participation in the Placing, details of which are set out in Appendix 1 to this announcement. 

Appendix 2 contains disclosure forms relating to the following directors who have notified Fiske that they controlled over 3% of Fiske's Total Voting Rights and that their percentage interest has changed as a result of the issue of new shares and, in James Harrison's case, participation in the Placing.
