What Shareholders Need to Know

For investors and shareholders, the latest block listing six monthly return filed by DFI Retail Group Holdings Limited shows that there have been no new shares issued or allotted under its two key employee share plans during the reporting period. The number of shares reserved and yet to be allotted remains unchanged:

• 5,715,354 shares are still available under the 2005 Plan
• 1,197,330 shares remain under the LTIP

There have also been no additional shares added to the block schemes since the last return.

Potential Price Sensitivity and Impact

From a price sensitivity perspective, there is no immediate dilution risk or overhang from new share issuances under these plans for the period covered. This stability can be viewed positively by existing shareholders, as there is no short-term increase in share supply that could pressure the share price. However, the considerable pool of unallotted shares—over 6.9 million shares in total—could become relevant in the future if the company decides to grant and issue these shares as part of employee incentives or management compensation plans. Investors should monitor future updates for any changes in the status of these plans.

Summary for Investors

• DFI Retail Group continues to maintain a significant reserve of shares under its long-standing employee incentive plans.
• No new shares were issued in the past six months, so there is no immediate share dilution.
• The unchanged status of the block schemes suggests a period of stability regarding share-based compensation and its impact on the share count.
• Shareholders should remain attentive to future block listing returns or company announcements that might signal a change in share issuance under these plans.
