ARTEMIS ALPHA TRUST PLC
FINAL EXERCISE OF SUBSCRIPTION SHARES
10 JANUARY 2018
In December 2010 the Company undertook a bonus issue of
subscription shares of one penny each (the "Subscription Shares")
on the basis of one Subscription Share for every seven ordinary
shares. The Subscription Shares confer the right to subscribe for
one ordinary share, at a fixed price of 345 pence on the last
business day of June and December up to and including December
2017. The final period during which holders of Subscription Shares
were entitled to exercise their rights ended on 29 December 2017
(the "Final Subscription Date").
The Company announces that it has received applications from
holders of Subscription Shares to exercise the rights attaching to
their shares and to subscribe for 2,707 ordinary shares of one
penny each in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares"),
subject to listing, at a price of 345 pence per Ordinary Share.
Application has been made for the new Ordinary Shares to be
admitted to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK
Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London
Stock Exchange. It is expected that dealings in the new Ordinary
Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 12 January 2018.
As at the date hereof 6,853,639 Subscription Shares remain
outstanding and have not had their rights exercised. In accordance
with the terms and conditions on which the Subscription Shares were
issued (as set out in the prospectus published by the Company on 11
November 2010) the Company has appointed a trustee over the
outstanding Subscription Shares. In accordance with the terms of
the Subscription Shares, the trustee will have to decide whether or
not to exercise the outstanding rights within 14 days following the
Final Subscription Date. If the trustee decides not to exercise the
outstanding shares the Subscription Share rights will lapse. A
further announcement will be made in respect of the trustee's
decision in due course.
Total voting rights
Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares noted above the
Company's issue share capital will consist of 41,241,680 Ordinary
Shares, with each share carrying the right to one vote, of which
260,706 are held in treasury and 6,853,639 Subscription Shares
(which carry no voting rights). Therefore, the total number of
voting rights in the Company is 40,980,974.
The above 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 in their interest
in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency sourcebook.
