PCF Group plc

("PCF" or the "Company")

Exercise of Options and Issue of Equity

PCF, the AIM-listed specialist bank, has issued and allotted 195,000 new ordinary shares of 5p each in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") following the exercise of employee share options awarded under the Company's approved share option plan.

Accordingly, an application has been made for the 195,000 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ('Admission'). It is expected that Admission will occur at 8:00 a.m. on 29 March 2019. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in the Company.

Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 250,180,934 ordinary shares with one voting right per share. No shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 250,180,934.

This figure of 250,180,934 ordinary shares 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 to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
