("Time Finance", the "Group" or the "Company")

Exercise of Share Options and Director/PDMR Shareholdings

Time Finance plc, the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, announces the exercise of share options ("Options") under the Company's 2022 Unapproved Share Option Scheme (the "Scheme").

The exercises of Options under the Scheme by certain of the Company's directors and PDMRs have been satisfied through the allocation of existing ordinary shares held by the Time Finance Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") and, as such, no new ordinary shares have been issued in connection with the Option exercises.  

Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights in the Company remains at 92,512,704. 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 to their interest in the Group under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Of the aggregate of 611,667 ordinary shares allocated from the EBT in satisfying the nil cost Option exercises, an aggregate of 108,093 ordinary shares have been sold by certain Scheme participants at a price of 58.00 pence per ordinary share to meet tax liabilities arising from the exercises of Options. The balance of ordinary shares from the exercises have been retained by the participants in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.

As a result of these exercises of Options, Ed Rimmer, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, is now interested in an increased 919,831 ordinary shares representing 0.9% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital.
