Cross holding Structure
As part of the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) arrangement, Webster Griffin EOT Ltd in turn holds all 265,755 ordinary shares in Webster Griffin Ltd. This reciprocal shareholding structure reflects the establishment of the EOT to hold Webster Griffin Ltd shares on behalf of its employees.

The single issued share of the trustee company is held as nominee to the order of the trustee directors. This circularity is permitted under the Companies Act 2006 (subsidiary acting as trustee exemption), and the Company does not exercise rights attached to that share without the consent of the trustee directors.


Share Buy back and Employee Share Options
During the year, 5,325 ordinary shares were bought back under the Company's EMI plan. The gross consideration was £30,756, reduced by £8,568 representing the EMI exercise price, resulting in a net payment of £22,188. The transaction has been accounted for in accordance with FRS 102 Section 26 and the Companies Act 2006, with appropriate adjustments made to share capital and reserves.
