In accordance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1A, following admission of the Consideration Shares, St Ives' issued share capital shall consist of 141,747,787 ordinary shares. The Company holds 90,637 ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights (one vote per ordinary share) in St Ives plc is 141,657,150. Shareholders may use this figure 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, St Ives under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
