Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the government relations and public affairs group providing clients with a fully integrated and comprehensive range of services, announces that it has granted restricted stock shares ("RSs") in the Company, which will rank pari passu with its existing Common Shares, to a broad range of its current employee base, including certain Directors and senior employees ("PDMRs") of the Company, under PPHC's 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") that was adopted in connection with the Group's admission to AIM in December 2021.

In total 638,877 RSs have been granted on 16 May 2024 under the Omnibus Plan. Of this tranche, 255,545 RSs have been granted to PDMRs (including Executive Directors and other senior management). The RSs will vest on 16 May 2025 and will be subject to certain acceleration and clawback events tied to continuation of employment and compliance with various employment-related agreements.

Application will be made for the new RSs, which will rank pari passu with the existing Common Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on or around 28 May 2024.

Following this issue of shares, the Company's total issued and voting share capital upon admission will consist of 118,317,132 Common Shares. This 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 to their interest in, securities of the Company.

Related Party Transaction

As directors of the Company, Stewart Hall, William Chess, Roel Smits and Keenan Austin Reed are deemed to be related parties under the AIM Rules for Companies (the "AIM Rules") and, as such, the award of the RSs outlined below to both Messrs. Hall, Chess and Smits and Ms. Austin constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

The Directors of the Group (excluding Messrs. Hall, Chess, and Smits and Ms. Austin) consider, having consulted with Stifel, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
