Gresham House plc

("Gresham House" or the "Company")

Share issuance to EBT and ESS Exercises by PDMRs

Gresham House (AIM: GHE), the specialist alternative asset manager, was notified on 27 July 2020 that the Company's Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") intends to subscribe for 1,329,306 ordinary shares of 25 pence in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at their par value and at an aggregate cost to the EBT of GBP332,326.50 (the "New Ordinary Shares"). The Company has agreed to lend GBP332,326.50 to the EBT to fund its subscription for the New Ordinary Shares.

The New Ordinary Shares are intended to be used by the EBT to satisfy the requests received from three of the Company's PDMRs to exercise previously announced Employee Share Scheme options over Gresham House Holdings Limited ("GHHL") shares ("ESS Options"). The ESS Options were issued under the long term incentive plan approved by the Company's shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company held on 20 November 2015 ("2016 LTIP").

The ESS Options were satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the 2016 LTIP by the Company repurchasing 320 GHHL A Shares from Mr Dalwood, 250 GHHL A Shares from Mr Robinson and 104 GHHL B Shares from Mr Acton in exchange for Ordinary Shares. Their resultant holdings are below:

 
 Director/PDMR      Title                New Ordinary       Resultant       Percentage 
                                          Shares received    shareholding    holding 
                                          as a result        in Gresham 
                                          of the exercise    House plc 
                                          of ESS Options 
                    Chief Executive 
 Anthony Dalwood     Officer             635,685            1,011,190       3.2% 
                   -------------------  -----------------  --------------  ----------- 
 Rupert Robinson    Managing Director    496,629            559,857         1.9% 
                   -------------------  -----------------  --------------  ----------- 
                    Chief Financial 
 Kevin Acton         Officer             196,992            229,367         0.7% 
                   -------------------  -----------------  --------------  ----------- 
 

Accordingly, on 27 July 2020, the Company allotted the New Ordinary Shares to the EBT and such shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company. It is anticipated that the New Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on or around 31 July 2020 ("Admission").

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 32,091,707 Ordinary Shares, 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.
