Employee Benefit Trust share purchase and total voting rights

Alpha FMC (AIM: AFM), a leading global provider of specialist consultancy services to the asset management, wealth management and insurance industries, has been notified by Intertrust Employee Benefit Trustee Limited, the trustee of the Company's Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT"), that on 25 August 2021, the EBT purchased a total of 53,025 ordinary shares of 0.0075 pence per share ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at a price of 353 pence per share. 

The shares will be held in the EBT, a discretionary trust, and are intended to be used to satisfy the exercise of share options by employees, including the Directors of the Company.  Ordinary Shares held by the EBT have no dividend or voting rights.

Following settlement of the above transaction, the Company will have 118,238,586 Ordinary Shares in issue, of which 6,266,653 are held in the Company's Employee Benefit Trust.  No shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 111,971,933, which may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
