Block listing applications

Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM), a global leader in Robotic Process Automation ("RPA"), announces that applications have been made to the London Stock Exchange for the block listing of securities in respect of an aggregate total of 1,010,800 ordinary shares of one penny each (the "New Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The first block listing application relates to 970,800 New Ordinary Shares to be issued from time to time in order to satisfy the potential exercise of share options granted under the Blue Prism Group plc Employee Share Plan. The second block listing application relates to 40,000 New Ordinary Shares to be issued from time to time in order to satisfy the potential exercise of share options granted under the Blue Prism Group plc Non-Employee Share Plan.

It is expected that admission will become effective on 3 March 2017.

When issued, the New Ordinary Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of one penny each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

As at today, there are 62,210,968 Ordinary Shares in issue with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. The Company will notify on a monthly basis when there are changes to the issued share capital of the Company, and these monthly figures may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation 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.
