("YouGov"
or "the Group" or "the Company")
Admission of New Ordinary
Shares and Total Voting Rights
On 6 August 2024, YouGov, the
international research and data analytics group, announced the
acquisition of Yabble, a New Zealand based company pioneering the
use of generative AI to deliver audience insights.
As set out in that
announcement, the initial cash
consideration for the acquisition has been funded through existing
cash resources, with the sellers agreeing to apply a portion of the
cash proceeds towards a phased subscription for ordinary shares in
YouGov, at their market value.
The conditions in respect of the
second and final payment of the initial cash consideration have now
been met and accordingly, the Group announces that an application
has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 151,579 new ordinary
shares of 0.2 pence each in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') to be
admitted to AIM.
The new Ordinary Shares will, upon
issue, rank pari passu with the existing ordinary share capital of
the Company. It is expected that admission will become effective on
27 August 2024.
Following the issue and allotment of
the new Ordinary Shares as described above, the Company will have
117,825,791 Ordinary Shares in issue. No
Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.
The above figure
includes 1,186,800 Ordinary Shares that are held by the YouGov
Employee Benefit Trust to satisfy awards under the Company's
employee share schemes. Therefore, shareholders may use the figure
of 116,638,991 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, the Group under the Financial
Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
