Time Finance plc

("Time Finance", the "Group" or the "Company")

Exercise of Employee Options and Director/PDMR Shareholdings

Time Finance plc, the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, announces the exercise of share options ("Options") under the Company's Unapproved Share Option Scheme (the "Scheme").

The Option exercises, of nil cost Options under the Scheme by certain of the Company's directors and PDMRs, have been satisfied through the allocation of existing ordinary shares held by the Time Finance Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") and, as such, no new ordinary shares have been issued in connection with the Option exercises. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company following admission will remain 92,512,704. This figure 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 Group under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules,

Of the aggregate of 178,500 ordinary shares allocated from the EBT in satisfying the Option exercises, 102,631 Ordinary Shares have been sold at a price of 21.2 pence per ordinary share to meet the tax liabilities arising from the exercises of Options, with the balance of Ordinary Shares from the exercises being retained by the participants in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.
