Director Dealing

RBG Holdings plc (AIM: RBGP), the professional services group, announces that on 10 July 2020, Velocity Venture Capital Ltd and VV Capital LLP, entities owned and controlled by Nicola Foulston (CEO)*, each respectively sold 52,632 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a sale price of 65 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Sale Shares"). Nicola immediately repurchased a total of 105,264 Ordinary Shares (being equal to the total amount of Sale Shares) for her SIPP.
