Share Issuance
Pearson announces that an application has been made to the
Financial Conduct Authority and the London Stock Exchange for the
admission of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the
capital of the Company ("New Shares") to be admitted to the
Official List and to be traded on the main market of the London
Stock Exchange ("Admission").
The New Shares will be issued in connection with distributions to
participants of the Pearson Long Term Incentive Plan and allotted
to the Company's Employment Benefit Trust. Subject to admission,
the New Shares shall rank pari passu with the existing issued
shares of the Company.
The number of ordinary shares in issue after this admission will be
756,234,370. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at
general meetings. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury.
This figure (756,234,370) may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
whether 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.
Admission is expected to become effective at 8.00 am on 28th April
2021.
