BENCHMARK HOLDINGS PLC (THE "COMPANY")
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING DIRECTOR SUBSCRIPTIONS
Further to the announcement released this morning in connection
with the placing of GBP20.7 million being undertaken by the Company
(the "Placing") (the "Placing Announcement"), the Company advises
that it has accepted applications from Trond Williksen, Septima
Maguire, Peter George, Yngve Myhre and Atle Eide (the
"Subscribers") to subscribe for, in aggregate, 295,000 ordinary
shares of 0.01 pence each at a price of GBP0.62 per share (the
"Subscription Shares"), being equal to the price being paid by
investors in the Placing (the "Subscriptions"). Total proceeds
being raised under the Subscriptions are approximately GBP0.2
million. The Subscription Shares will be allotted to the
Subscribers on or around 1 December 2021.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this Announcement have
the meanings given in the Placing Announcement.
The Subscriptions are conditional, inter alia, on the Placing
Agreement not being terminated prior to Admission (or such later
date and/or time as the Company and Numis may agree, being no later
than 8.30 a.m. on 8 December 2021).
An application has been made for the Subscription Shares to be
admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will
become effective on 1 December 2021 and that dealings for normal
settlement in the Subscription Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on
1 December 2021. The Subscription Shares will, when issued and
fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary
Shares in issue at that time, including the right to receive all
dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the
date of Admission.
The total number of ordinary shares in the Company being issued
pursuant to the Placing and the Subscriptions is 33,401,620. The
Company's total issued share capital following completion of the
Placing and the Subscriptions will consist of 703,779,104 ordinary
shares of 0.1 pence each with one voting right per share (assuming
no options or warrants are exercised in the period between this
announcement and Admission). This figure of 703,779,104 ordinary
shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculations by which they can determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
Company following Admission.
The Subscribers are PDMRs of the Company. The Notification of
Dealing Form for each Subscriber can be found below. This
notification is made in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation
(EU) no. 596/2014 (as amended) as it forms part of the domestic law
of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018 (as amended).
