Frontier Developments plc
Exercise of Options, Director/PDMR Shareholding and Total Voting Rights
Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, "Frontier", the "Company") announces that on 13 September 2021, Alex Bevis, CFO and Company Secretary, exercised options over 19,930 ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") at an exercise price equal to the nominal value per Ordinary Share. Subsequently on 13 September 2021, Mr Bevis sold 19,930 Ordinary Shares at a price of 2,755 pence per Ordinary Share. Therefore, Mr Bevis' shareholding of 17,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.04% of the Company's issued share capital, remains unchanged following these transactions.
The Company has also been notified that on 14 September 2021, Rockspring, a UK company, sold 10,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 2,700.275 pence per Ordinary Share. David Gammon, Frontier's Non-Executive Chairman, is a Director of Rockspring and, together with his family, was beneficially interested in these Ordinary Shares. Following this transaction, David Gammon remains beneficially interested in a total of 280,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.71% of the Company's issued share capital.
Total Voting Rights
In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, the Company confirms that, following the exercise of Options, its issued share capital consists of 39,372,156 Ordinary Shares.
The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 39,372,156.
The above figure 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 to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
