Option Exercise, Admission
and Total Voting Rights
RWS Holdings plc ("RWS" or "the
Company"), a unique world-leading provider of technology-enabled
language, content and intellectual property services, announces
that 1,089,666 new ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company
("New Ordinary Shares") were issued today in order to satisfy (i) a
share award to an Executive Director in respect of the FY24 bonus
and (ii) the exercise of options awarded at nil cost under the
Company's Long Term Incentive Plan as part
of the Company's FY24 bonus arrangements. RWS has applied to the
London Stock Exchange for the admission of 1,089,666 New Ordinary
Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to
take place at 8:00am on 24 January 2025.
The New Ordinary Shares, when issued,
will be fully paid and will rank pari-passu in all respects with
the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all
dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the
date of issue. The issue and allotment of the New Ordinary Shares
will be within the Company's existing authorities.
Total Voting Rights
Subsequent to Admission, there will
be 369,807,646 ordinary shares of 1p each in issue with voting
rights. No shares are held in treasury. 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 share capital of
the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.
