Alpha Financial Markets
Consulting plc
('Alpha FMC', 'Alpha', the 'Company' or 'Group')
RSU vesting, PDMR dealing and
total voting rights
Alpha FMC (AIM: AFM), a leading
global consultancy to the financial industry, announces that a
Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") award under the Company's Management
Incentive Plan ("MIP") held by Luc
Baqué, a person discharging
managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"), vested on 8 July 2024 in respect of a total
of 205,882 Ordinary Shares. This RSU award vesting was satisfied by
the transfer of existing shares held in the Alpha Employee
Benefit Trust ("EBT"). Following the
vesting, Luc Baqué holds unvested MIP awards in respect of
432,791 Ordinary Shares and he and his immediate family are
beneficially interested in 1,428,996 Ordinary Shares representing
1.17% of the Company's total voting rights.
Following the above, the Company
will have 122,009,736 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 7,093,567
are held in the EBT. No shares are held in treasury. The
total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be
122,009,736. This figure includes
the 7,093,567 Ordinary Shares currently held in the EBT as the Ordinary
Shares hold voting rights albeit the EBT does not exercise these
voting rights nor receive dividends in respect of these
shares. Therefore, 114,916,169 Ordinary
Shares have exercisable voting rights and the Group's earnings per
share calculation excludes the 7,093,567 Ordinary Shares held by
the EBT.
This 122,009,736 figure may
be used by shareholders in the Company as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if
they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the
FCA's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
The notifications below, made in
accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of the UK Market
Abuse Regulation, provide additional detail.
