EJF Investments Ltd
Notification of transactions by directors, persons discharging
managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with
them
EJF Investments Ltd. ("EJFI" or the "Company") announces that it
was notified on 22 February 2019 (the "Notification Date") that on
the same date, EJF Investments Manager LLC (the "Manager"), the
Company's investment manager, allocated and distributed 534,135
ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares")
held on its behalf to certain of its officers and affiliates in the
proportions set out below, in each case for nil consideration (the
"Allocations"). The Ordinary Shares the subject of the Allocations
were received by the Manager in March 2018 in satisfaction of the
incentive fee payable to it by the Company for the incentive fee
period ending 31 December 2017.
The Allocations have been made by the Manager in accordance with
its own incentive plan.
The Manager is a "person discharging managerial
responsibilities" (a "PDMR") for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No
596/2014 on Market Abuse ("MAR").
The Company was also notified on the Notification Date that on
the same date, as a consequence of the Allocations:
-- Neal J. Wilson, the Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, a
non-executive director of the Company and a PDMR for the purposes
of MAR, acquired 106,826 Ordinary Shares from the Manager;
-- Lindsay J. Sparacino, the Co-Chief Investment Officer of the
Manager and a PDMR for the purposes of MAR, acquired 53,414
Ordinary Shares from the Manager;

and a PDMR for the purposes of MAR, acquired 53,414 Ordinary Shares
from the Manager;
-- Hammad W. Khan, the Senior Managing Director, Europe, of the
Manager and a PDMR for the purposes of MAR, acquired 53,414
Ordinary Shares from the Manager; and
-- EJF Capital Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EJF Capital
LLC and a "person closely associated" with the Manager for the
purposes of MAR, acquired 267,067 Ordinary Shares from the
Manager.
Each of Mr Wilson, Ms Sparacino, Mr Stage, Mr Khan and EJF
Capital Limited have entered into deeds of adherence to the lock-in
deed applicable to the Manager and, therefore, the Ordinary Shares
acquired by them as set out above are subject to the restrictions
set out in such lock-in deed (including, among others, a
restriction on transferring any Ordinary Shares received by the
Manager pursuant to the amended and restated management agreement
dated 30 March 2017 between (among other persons) the Company and
the Manager for a period of six months following the date on which
the Manager receives any such Ordinary Shares).
Following settlement of these transactions:
-- the Manager is interested in 375,000 zero dividend preference
shares with a redemption date in 2022, representing approximately
2.5% of the issued shares in that class of shares in the capital of
the Company;
-- Mr Wilson is interested in 1,288,585 Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 2.01% of the issued shares in that class
of shares in the capital of the Company, and 375,000 zero dividend
preference shares with a redemption date in 2022, representing
approximately 2.5% of the issued shares in that class of shares in
the capital of the Company;
-- Ms Sparacino is interested in 77,249 Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 0.12% of the issued shares in that class
of shares in the capital of the Company;
-- Mr Stage is interested in 53,414 Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 0.08% of the issued shares in that class
of shares in the capital of the Company;
-- Mr Khan is interested in 53,414 Ordinary Shares, representing
approximately 0.08% of the issued shares in that class of shares in
the capital of the Company; and
-- EJF Capital Limited is interested in 267,067 Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 0.42% of the issued shares in that class
of shares in the capital of the Company.
Shares in the capital of the Company held in treasury have not
been taken into account in the calculation of the above
percentages.
