Issue of Ordinary Shares & Total Voting Rights

YouGov, the international research and data analytics group, announces that 5,744 new ordinary shares of 0.2p each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company are to be allotted and issued.

Under the Company's remuneration policy, a proportion of the Non-Executive Directors' annual fee is paid in the form of Ordinary Shares in lieu of cash, except if a NED has an existing substantial shareholding. Accordingly, the Company has approved the allotment and issue of 5,744 new Ordinary Shares as follows:

·	1,724 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £15,000* to Shalini Govil-Pai
·	1,724 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £15,000* to Rosemary Leith
·	574 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £5,000* to Ashley Martin
·	574 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £5,000* to Devesh Mishra
·	574 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £5,000* to Andrea Newman
·	574 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £5,000* to Nick Prettejohn

(*Based on a closing price of £8.70 as at 24 April 2023, being the prior trading day.)

Following this issue, the shareholdings of these NEDs will be as follows:

·	Shalini Govil-Pai will hold 1,724 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.002% of the Company's Issued Share Capital).
·	Rosemary Leith will hold 17,493 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.016% of the Company's total issued share capital).
·	Ashley Martin will hold 8,988 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.008% of the Company's total issued share capital).
·	Devesh Mishra will hold 574 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.001% of the Company's Issued Share Capital).
·	Andrea Newman will hold 4,645 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.004% of the Company's total issued share capital).
·	Nick Prettejohn will hold 574 Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 0.001% of the Company's total issued share capital).

Application will be made for the admission of these new Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM with admission anticipated to be on 03 May 2023. 

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have 111,482,043 Ordinary Shares. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.

The above figure includes 1,993,776 Ordinary Shares that are held by the YouGov Employee Benefit Trust to satisfy awards under the Company's employee share schemes.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company following Admission will therefore be 109,488,267. 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, the Group under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
