Dealings
B.P. Marsh, the specialist investor
in early stage financial services businesses, announces that
on 11 April 2024 a total of 22,380 ordinary shares of 10
pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") have been granted
to eligible employees pursuant to a Share Incentive Plan (the
"SIP") (as announced originally on 29 March 2016).
Under the SIP, Ordinary Shares are
acquired in three ways:
· Partnership Shares, where an
employee can purchase up to £1,800 worth of
shares;
· Matching Shares, where B.P.
Marsh can give up to two free Matching Shares for each Partnership
Share bought; and
· Free Shares, where the
Company can give each eligible employee up to £3,600 worth of free
shares in any tax year.
In accordance with the SIP's rules,
a total of 12 eligible employees applied for the 2024-25 SIP awards
and have each been granted 746 Ordinary Shares ("2024-25 Free
Shares"), representing £3,595.72 at a price of £4.82 per Ordinary
Share. Furthermore, all eligible employees have elected to take up
the opportunity to acquire 373 Ordinary Shares ("2024-25
Partnership Shares"), equating to £1,797.86 at a price of £4.82 per
Ordinary Share. For every Partnership Share that an employee
acquires, the SIP Trust has awarded two free Ordinary Shares
("2024-25 Matching Shares") equating to 746 Ordinary Shares to each
participating employee. In aggregate, each eligible employee will
hold an additional 1,865 Ordinary Shares under the SIP. The 2024-25
Free and Matching Shares are subject to a 1 year forfeiture
period.
Certain Directors and other Persons
Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR") have participated
in this award and further details of the Directors' and PDMRs'
