Biome Technologies plc, a leading bioplastics and radio frequency technology
business, announces a grant options ("Options") over new ordinary shares of 5
pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
Options have been granted in respect of a total of 260,618 new Ordinary Shares
to members of staff and persons discharging managerial responsibilities
("PDMRs"). These new Options represent, in aggregate, 6.89 per cent of the
Company's current issued share capital. Of these Options, 158,346 have been
granted to PDMRs, as detailed below, and the balance has been granted to other
Biome employees.
The Options are exercisable at 137.5 pence per Ordinary Share (being the
closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share on 9 October 2023). Of these
Options, 130,302 will vest on the first practical date after signing of the
annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 December 2023 ("Vesting Date
1") and 130,316 will vest on the first practical date after signing the annual
report and accounts for the year ending 31 December 2024 ("Vesting Date 2").
Options which are not vested at Vesting Date 1 will roll over to Vesting Date
2.
The Options are conditional on the recipients being employed by the Company on
the specific vesting dates. In addition, Options granted to PDMRs can only
be exercised if the average mid-market price of an Ordinary Share exceeds 250
pence over the 60 dealing days prior to the relevant vesting date. The Options
can be exercised from the date of vesting until 5:00 p.m. on the business day

About Biome
Biome Technologies plc is an AIM listed, growth-orientated, commercially
driven technology group. Our strategy is founded on building market-leading
positions based on patented technology and serving international customers in
valuable market sectors. We have chosen to do this by developing products in
application areas where the value-added pricing can be justified and are not
reliant on government legislation. These products are driven by customer
requirements and are compatible with existing manufacturing processes. They
are market rather than technology-led.

Biome Bioplastics is a leading developer of highly-functional, bio-based and
biodegradable plastics. The company's mission is to produce bioplastics that
challenge the dominance of oil- based polymers.

systems. Dielectric and induction heating products are at the core of a
product offering that ranges from portable sealing devices to large furnaces
for the fibre optics and other industrial markets.
