First Property Group plc Director's Shareholding and Ordinary Shares in Issue

The Board of First Property Group plc (AIM:FPO) announces that the Company has issued from Treasury 11,765 Ordinary Shares of one pence each in the Company to Mr Peter Moon, a non-executive Director, in satisfaction of part of his emoluments for the six months ended 30 April 2017.

Under the terms of his appointment Mr Moon receives 40% of his emoluments (£12,000 was the relevant annual value to 30 April 2017), in Ordinary Shares based on the average closing price of the Company's Ordinary Shares for the five day period following the announcement of the half year and annual results. In this case the average closing mid-price per Ordinary Share for the five business days between 9 June 2017 and 15 June 2017, adjusted for the final dividend, was 51.00 pence. A similar announcement is expected in February 2018 following the publication of the Group's interim results.

As a result of this allotment of shares, Mr Moon's shareholding in the Company is 433,937 Ordinary Shares, which equates to 0.37% of the issued Ordinary Share capital.

Following the sale from Treasury, the Company has 116,004,464 Ordinary Shares in issue. The figure of 116,004,464 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculations by which to determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. 596,651 Ordinary Shares remain in Treasury.
