M.P. Evans ( (GB:MPE) ) has issued an update.
M.P. Evans Group PLC has disclosed that its chief executive, Matthew Harrison Coulson, has exercised 18,000 nil‑cost share options under the company’s Long Term Incentive Scheme, with part of the resulting holding sold and part transferred to his spouse. Coulson sold 8,450 shares at £12.385 each to cover tax and National Insurance liabilities arising from the option exercise, and transferred the remaining 9,550 shares to his wife, leaving his attributable holding at 52,800 shares, or about 0.10% of the company’s issued share capital. The award was satisfied through shares held in the company’s 2018 Employees’ Benefit Trust, meaning the total shares with voting rights remain unchanged at 52,256,292, so the transaction does not affect overall share capital or voting structure but updates insider ownership levels relevant for disclosure and transparency requirements.
