 Additional listing

genedrive plc (LSE: GDR), the near patient molecular diagnostics company, announces that, further to the announcement of the fifth deed of amendment to the Visible Genomics SPA on 16 November 2018, it has issued 869,565 ordinary shares of 1.5p each in the capital of the Company ("VGL Shares") to the shareholder of Visible Genomics Limited. This is to settle the deferred consideration payable on the first anniversary of the date of admission of the shares issued in the placing on which the amendment was conditional. The VGL Shares will be subject to an orderly marketing arrangement.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the VGL Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to be effective on 10 December 2019. The VGL Shares shall rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in the Company.

Following admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 34,870,071 Ordinary Shares and each Ordinary Share carries one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and accordingly, the total number of voting rights is 34,870,071. This figure 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 FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
