RWS Holdings plc ("RWS", "the Company"), the world's leading provider of intellectual property support services (patent translations, international patent filing solutions and searches), commercial translations and linguistic validation, announces that a total of 700,000 options to subscribe for ordinary shares of 1p each ("shares") pursuant to the Company's share option plan, adopted on 3 April 2013 have been exercised by Senior Managers of the Company on 19 February 2016.

Following this exercise, there are a further 3,832,905 vested options outstanding under the Company's unapproved option scheme and a further 139,290 unvested options under the approved option scheme.

RWS has issued new shares to satisfy these options bringing the total number of shares in issue to 215,718,220, an increase of 0.33%. The new shares rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares.  This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interests in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
