Audioboom updates market on share option block admission and remaining headroom

Audioboom ( (GB:BOOM) ) has provided an announcement.

Audioboom Group plc, the AIM‑quoted podcast platform, has provided a six‑monthly update on its block admission related to the company’s share option arrangements under the 2014 Share Option Scheme, continued by the 2025 Employee Share Plan. The disclosure outlines movements in ordinary shares available for employee incentives, a routine requirement under AIM Rules that informs investors about potential dilution.

During the period from 9 September 2025 to 8 March 2026, 12,500 ordinary shares were issued under the scheme, reducing the number of securities not yet issued under the plan to 1,643,791 shares. Under the overall blocklisting, 689,506 ordinary shares have now been admitted to trading, leaving 1,005,909 shares still available, signalling a modest use of equity for employee remuneration while maintaining a substantial pool for future awards.

The block admission, originally covering 1,337,415 ordinary shares in March 2020 and subsequently increased by 358,000 shares, continues to support Audioboom’s ability to incentivise and retain key staff in a competitive digital media market. For shareholders, the update clarifies the current scale of potential share issuance through options, helping them assess the ongoing impact of stock‑based compensation on the company’s capital structure.
