Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the government relations and public affairs group providing clients with a fully integrated and comprehensive range of services, announces that it has granted restricted stock shares ("RSs") in the Company, which will rank pari passu with its existing Common Shares, under PPHC's 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") that was adopted in connection with the Group's admission to AIM in December 2021.

In total 64,860 RSs have been granted on 30 May 2024 under the Omnibus Plan. Of this tranche, no RSs have been granted to PDMRs. The RSs will vest on 16 May 2025 and will be subject to certain acceleration and clawback events tied to continuation of employment and compliance with various employment-related agreements.

Application will be made for the new RSs, which will rank pari passu with the existing Common Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on or around 6 June 2024.

Following this issue of shares, the Company's total issued and voting share capital upon admission will consist of 118,381,992 Common Shares. 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, securities of the Company.
