Director/PDMR dealings
Ondo InsurTech Plc (LSE: ONDO), a leading company in claims prevention technology for home insurers, is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held earlier today, both resolutions as set out in its Notice of General Meeting dated 15 May 2024 were duly passed.
As previously announced Mark Wood (Non-Executive Chairman), Craig Foster (Chief Executive Officer) and Kevin Withington (Chief Financial Officer) participated in the Placing and Mark Wood also undertook to take up his entitlement in the Open Offer, in respect of an aggregate of 538,975 New Ordinary Shares. Subsequent to the publication of the Prospectus on 15 May 2024, an employee was unable to proceed with their participation in the Placing in respect of 57,142 New Ordinary Shares due to regulatory restrictions, enabling Craig Foster and Kevin Withington to increase their participation by subscribing for an additional 57,143 Placing Shares, in aggregate. Accordingly, the directors have subscribed for an aggregate of 596,117 New Ordinary Shares, as set out below.

Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution or the total number of votes cast.
As a result of the passing of the Resolutions, the Proposals, including the Placing and Open Offer announced on 13 May 2024 will now proceed. The Company has applied for the 29,771,273 New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List (by way of a Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities and expects that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 5 June 2024 ("Admission").
