Further to the announcement on 11 November 2022, Vistry is pleased to confirm that 127,447,399 new ordinary shares of £0.50 each in the capital of Vistry (the "New Vistry Shares") were admitted to listing on the premium listing segment of the Official List maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities, with effect from 8.00 a.m. today, 14 November 2022.

Following the admission of the New Vistry Shares and in accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules 5.6.1R and 5.6.1AR, Vistry hereby notifies the market that Vistry's issued share capital as at today, 14 November 2022, consists of 345,708,501 ordinary shares of £0.50 each (excluding 1,500,000 shares held in treasury). 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, Vistry under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
