Allotment and Transaction in Own Shares and Total Voting Rights

Empresaria, the global specialist staffing group, announces that 360,000 ordinary shares of GBP0.05 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") will be issued to a former employee pursuant to the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan.

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 360,000 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00am on 29 June 2021.

In addition, further to its share buyback programme announced on 17 June 2020 ("Programme"), on 22 June 2021 the Company purchased 31,109 Ordinary Shares at a price of GBP0.772675 per Ordinary Share.

All of the Ordinary Shares purchased under the Programme will be transferred to the Empresaria Employee Benefit Trust. The Company intends that Ordinary Shares transferred to the Empresaria Employee Benefit Trust will be used to satisfy the exercise of options vested under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan.

Following the above issue and purchase, the Company has 49,379,132 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 256,265 are held by the Company as treasury shares until they are transferred to the Empresaria Employee Benefit Trust. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 49,122,867.

The above figure of 49,122,867 may be used by shareholders 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
