Correction - Total Number of Ordinary Shares
Kistos Holdings plc has issued a correction, amending the total number of ordinary shares in issue from 68,282,646 to 83,117,647 due to an administrative error. This correction follows notifications regarding the release of restricted share units and subsequent sales by persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs) to cover tax liabilities. Andrew Austin, Peter Mann, and James Thomson received and sold shares, retaining 25,517, 26,386, and 3,485 shares respectively, with their aggregate holdings now standing at 14,333,870, 1,304,543, and 69,587 ordinary shares. Additionally, 62,199 ordinary shares were issued to employees to satisfy option exercises and RSU releases, bringing the total new ordinary shares issued under block admission to 146,212. The updated total voting rights figure of 83,117,647 will serve as the denominator for shareholders' notification calculations.
