Marlowe plc ("Marlowe", the "Group" or the "Company"),  the  UK  leader in business-critical services and software which assure safety and regulatory compliance , announces that, following the achievement of profit targets in respect of the Group's 2019 acquisition of Law At Work (Holdings) Limited (the "Acquisition"), final contingent consideration of £4.3 million, including the issue of 153,923 new ordinary shares of 50 pence each in the Group (the "New Ordinary Shares") at an effective issue price of 717 pence per ordinary share, will be payable by the Group in respect of the Acquisition.

Application has been made for the 153,923 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Group's existing ordinary shares, and it is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 9 April 2021.

Following Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will comprise 77,123,772 ordinary shares, none of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in Marlowe following admission will be 77,123,772.

The above figure of 77,123,772 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.
