Record plc ('Record' or the 'Company')
Record plc PDMR / PCA Shareholding
Record plc ("Record"), the specialist currency and asset manager, today announces the sale of shares at market value on 7 March 2023 from the Record Charitable Trust ("the Trust") (as PCA to Neil Record) to the Record plc Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT").
Neil Record, Chairman of Record, commented:
"On 7 March 2022, we announced the start of a funding programme for an educational fund, held by the Trust, utilising Record plc shares held in my own name.
"The programme commenced with a gift of two million shares from my personal holding with the stated intention that the Trust would sell these shares in a series of orderly tranches in consultation with Record's Corporate Broker, Panmure Gordon, to provide the funds for scholarships, and to diversify its holdings.
"This sale provides scholarship funds for the Trust, which has just awarded its first round of scholarships for the academic year 2023-24, with twelve children now receiving substantial support from the Trust for their whole school careers. The purchase facilitates the warehousing of shares within the EBT for use under Record's various share-related incentive schemes aligned with the Group's future succession plans."
