The City Pub Group plc
(The "City Pub Group" or the "Company")
EBT, Grant of Options and Total Voting Rights
The City Pub Group announces that further to details included in
the Company's AIM Admission Document it has established an Employee
Benefit Trust ("EBT"), the trustee of which, Estera Trust (Jersey)
Limited, has been issued with 1,925,000 ordinary shares of 50 pence
per share ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company (the "JSOP Shares"),
equivalent to approximately 3.4 per cent. of the Company's current
issued share capital. The JSOP Shares will be held jointly by the
EBT and certain directors and employees under the terms of the
Company's Joint Share Ownership Plan. No price was paid by the
directors and employees for their interest in the JSOP Shares. The
exercise price of the JSOP Shares is GBP2.05 per Ordinary Share and
they will vest after three years. There will be no voting rights
attached to the JSOP Shares prior to vesting.
In addition, certain employees of the Company have been granted
new options in relation to a total of 922,500 Ordinary Shares under
The City Pub Group plc Company Share Option Plan (the "CSOPs"). The
CSOPs have an exercise price of GBP1.70, will vest after three
years and have a 10 year term.
Following the issue of the JSOP Shares and the grant of CSOPs,
the Company has 3,890,000 outstanding options and JSOP Shares in
total, representing approximately 6.9 per cent. of the existing
issued share capital of the Company. Further options or share
awards may be made at the discretion of the Company, up to an
aggregate limit under existing authorities of 10 per cent. of the
issued share capital of the Company immediately following the
Company's admission to AIM, being a further 1,756,733 Ordinary
Shares.
Application will be made for the JSOP Shares, which will rank
pari passu with the Company's existing issued Ordinary Shares, to
be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission will
become effective and that trading in the JSOP Shares will commence
on or around 30 January 2018 ("Admission").
In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure
and Transparency Rules, the Company hereby announces that following
Admission it will have 58,392,333 Ordinary Shares in issue, none of
which are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in
the Company is 56,467,333. The above figure of 56,467,333 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.
