Ramsdens Holdings PLC

("Ramsdens" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options, Director/PDMR Shareholding and Total Voting Rights

Ramsdens, the diversified financial services provider and retailer, announces the exercise of options (the "Options") over 250,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") by Peter Kenyon, Ramsdens' Chief Executive Officer (the "Option Exercise").

The Options were originally granted in 2017 pursuant to Ramsdens' Long-Term Incentive Plan, introduced on the Company's admission to AIM, covering the performance of the Company for the three-year period to March 2020. The options became exercisable in December 2020. 

Following the Option Exercise, Peter Kenyon has subsequently sold a total of 250,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 174.08 pence (the "Share Sale"). Following the Share Sale, Peter Kenyon holds 1,152,507 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, equivalent to 3.64 per cent. of the voting share capital of the Company (as enlarged).

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 250,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 17 February 2022.

Total Voting Rights

In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1, the Company announces that, following Admission, its issued share capital will consist of 31,643,207 Ordinary Shares.

The Company does not currently hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 31,643,207.

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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
