("PPHC", the "Company" or the "Group")
Board Appointment & Removal of Reg-S restrictions
Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the leading government
relations and public affairs group of companies providing a
comprehensive range of advisory services, is pleased to announce
that, further to its announcement of 3 July 2023, Roel Smits (Chief
Financial Officer), will join the Group's Board of Directors with
immediate effect.
Removal of Reg-S restrictions from shares of common stock
To facilitate compliance with United States securities laws,
depositary receipts representing shares of PPHC Common Stock listed
on AIM under the symbol "PPHC" have been subject to a prohibition
on transfers to United States persons who are not qualified
institutional buyers (the "AIM Transfer Restrictions"). The Board
has approved the removal of the AIM Transfer Restrictions, subject
to the Board's power to reinstate such restrictions at any time at
its discretion. The Board expects this to enhance the liquidity in
the trading of PPHC's common shares and allow investors who may
previously have had difficulty in dealing to deal more easily.
PPHC anticipates that the removal of the AIM Transfer
Restrictions will become effective in the coming weeks and further
announcements will be made as appropriate.
Simon Lee, Chairman of PPHC, commented:
"I am pleased to announce the formal appointment of Roel Smits
to PPHC's Board. The Group's seven-person Board provides PPHC with
deep expertise and is very well placed to drive PPHC's ongoing
growth in the years ahead.
"Although trading in PPHC's shares has been possible on a few
trading platforms since IPO, we have received requests from
potential shareholders to ensure that trading is possible on
certain global trading platforms. We believe that the lifting of
the Reg-S restrictions will enable this to occur and will therefore
support trading liquidity."
