APTITUDE SOFTWARE GROUP plc (the "Company" or the "Group")
Director/PDMR Shareholding and Total Voting Rights
Aptitude Software Group plc announces that on 13 May 2022, a
total of 94,671 share options over the Company's Ordinary Shares
(the "Options") were exercised by certain employees under the
Group's Performance Share Plan 2016 ("PSP 2016"), which had been
subject to performance conditions. The issue of the new Ordinary
Shares resulting from the Options exercise will be satisfied via
the Company's existing block listing arrangements.
Total Voting Rights:
In accordance with DTR 5.6.1, following the transactions
referred to above, as at today's date, the Company's issued share
capital comprises 57,337,611 ordinary shares of 7 1/3 pence each
("Ordinary Shares") with one voting right each. The Company does
not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Accordingly, Shareholders
may use this figure as the denominator for the calculation by which
they will determine whether they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, Ordinary Shares in
the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
Director/PDMR Shareholding:
Philip Wood (Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer) exercised options over 35,096 Ordinary Shares under the
Company's Performance Share Plan 2016. He retained 19,466 of the
resulting shares, and sold 15,630 of the resulting shares to fund
the associated exercise costs and tax liabilities. As a result of
this transaction, Philip Wood's shareholding has now increased to
216,341 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 0.38% of the
