Defence Holdings ( (GB:ALRT) ) has provided an announcement.
Defence Holdings PLC has appointed Andrew Roughan as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective 30 March 2026, bringing in a leader with deep experience across government-aligned technology, defence, national security and critical infrastructure, including his recent tenure as CEO of innovation firm Plexal and prior senior roles in telecoms and data centres. The board views his appointment as strategically important as the company moves into a delivery and scale-up phase, granting him warrants over 142.9 million ordinary shares in three performance-linked price tranches to align his incentives with shareholder value, while separately confirming that £92,800 of additional gross proceeds have been raised under its at-the-market facility, bringing total gross funds raised via this route to just over £713,000 and modestly reducing Fortified Securities’ shareholding.
