Issue of Equity
Polar Capital Holdings plc ("Polar Capital" or the "Company")
announces that today 541,818 ordinary shares of 2.5 pence in the
Company have been allotted and issued, each fully paid, under its
block listing facility (Crystallisation of Preference Shares) in
respect of the previously announced partial crystallisation of the
North American Fund (RNS Number 0949U on 20 November 2019), the
partial crystallisation of the Global Convertible Bond Fund, and
the crystallisation of the Biotechnology Fund (both in RNS Number
0101S on 11 November 2021). These shares will rank pari passu in
all respects with the Company's existing shares in issue.
This issue comprises the fourth and final allotment of shares in
respect of the North American Fund (136,664 shares), and the second
allotment in respect of the Global Convertible Fund and the
Biotechnology Fund (405,154 shares).
The Company's current issued share capital is 100,248,907
ordinary shares and following this allotment, the total number of
ordinary shares allotted and in issue will be 100,790,725.
Background
As set out at the time of the Company's admission to AIM, Polar
Capital has structured its fund management operations in such a way
that the fund management teams are placed in separate business
units. Each business unit is a separate profit centre and the fund
managers responsible receive an annual payment which comprises a
share of their unit's core operating profit (operating profit
before performance fees and related distributions) and performance
fees.
In addition, each fund management team is offered the prospect
of an interest in the capital of the Company through the purchase
of an individual class of preference shares in Polar Capital
Partners Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. These
preference shares have been structured in such a way as to become
convertible upon the occurrence of certain events known as
crystallisation events into cash or, at the option of the Company,
ordinary shares in the Company at a ratio that is intended to be
earnings enhancing for the Group.
Upon the occurrence of a crystallisation event the fund managers
concerned cease to be eligible to receive their share of the
business unit's core operating profit and simultaneously going
forward receive a reduced interest in their performance fees.
