Issue of shares to employee benefit trust

As announced earlier today, the scheme of arrangement circular published on 4 August 2023 to implement the acquisition of Gresham House by Seed Bidco Limited pursuant to Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 ("Scheme") is now Effective.

As announced on 8 December 2023, the Company has applied to AIM for a block listing of 4,157,529 new ordinary shares of GBP0.25 each in the Company.

In order to satisfy the vesting of awards granted pursuant to the Gresham House plc Bonus Share Matching Plan 2018 which occurred automatically upon the Scheme becoming Effective, the Company's Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") has subscribed for 1,382,747 new ordinary shares in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") at their par value of GBP0.25 each, at an aggregate cost to the EBT of GBP345,686.75. The Company gifted GBP345,686.75 to the EBT to fund its subscription for the New Ordinary Shares.

Accordingly, the Company has today allotted the New Ordinary Shares to the EBT and such shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of GBP0.25 each in the Company. The New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM today ("Admission").

Following Admission and in accordance with Rule 2.9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers , the Company confirms that the Company's issued share capital will comprise 42,431,525 ordinary shares of GBP0.25 each, which figure 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.

The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.

The International Securities Identification Number for Gresham House's ordinary shares is GB0003887287.
