Yü Group PLC
("Yü Group" or the "Group")
Exercise of Options, PDMR Dealing and Total Voting Rights
Yü Group PLC (AIM: YU.), the independent supplier of gas and electricity, meter asset owner, and installer of smart meters to the UK corporate sector, announces that Adam Young, Marketing & Transformation Director, has exercised options over 12,769 ordinary shares of 0.5 p each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company, at an exercise price of 0.5 p each ("Options").
A portion of the Options were exercised by Adam Young on a cashless basis such that 8,769 of the Ordinary Shares being issued pursuant to the exercise have been sold via the Company's broker at a price of 970p each. Some of this sale was made to fund the associated tax charge and the transaction costs incurred by Adam Young on the exercise of Options.
Of the 4,000 Ordinary Shares retained, Adam Young has confirmed his intention to transfer approximately 2,000 shares in his name to his partner, which will be retained in her Individual Savings Account ("ISA"). These shares will be transferred from Adam Young at the market price at the time of completion of the trade.
Following this transaction, Adam Young and persons closely connected will be the beneficial holders of 4,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company.
Issue of Equity and Admission
The Group has made an application to the London Stock Exchange for the admission to trading on AIM for the 12,769 Ordinary Shares. The 12,769 Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued shares and are expected to be admitted to trading on AIM at 8:00a.m. on 2 October 2023.
Total Voting Rights
Following this admission, the Group's share capital and total voting rights will comprise 16,727,695 ordinary shares of 0.5p each. The Group does not hold any shares in treasury. Consequently, 16,727,695 is the figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
