Director's Holding

Exercise of Options

and Total Voting Rights

Maintel, the cloud and managed service specialist, announces the following transactions.

Grant of Options and Director's Holding

Maintel announces that on 17 September 2020, the Company, on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee granted 50,000 options over ordinary shares of 1 pence each in Maintel ("Ordinary Shares") to Dan Davies, Chief Technology Officer, under the Company's 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") (the "Grant"). Following the Grant, Mr Davies has a total of 75,000 options over Ordinary Shares. The Company has also been advised that at the time of Mr Davies' appointment to the Board, he also has a beneficial interest over 1,395 Ordinary Shares held through the Maintel Holdings Plc Share Incentive Plan.

The Grant was made as a market value option and therefore the exercise price was determined by reference to the previous dealing day's closing middle market price, being GBP2.21. The award is not subject to the achievement of performance conditions. 100% of the vested options are exercisable from 31 December 2023 and the options will expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

Exercise of Options and Total Voting Rights

The Company also announces that it has allotted a total of 24,433 new Ordinary Shares following certain option exercises. Application has been made for the 24,433 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on 21 September 2020 ("Admission").

The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares. The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following Admission will be 14,361,492; there are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. Accordingly, the figure of 14,361,492 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 Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
