("East Imperial" or the "Company")

Director Shareholding

East Imperial, the global purveyor of ultra-premium beverages, announces that,
on 1 December 2021, Rabindra Lal Soni (Rob Soni), former Chairperson of the
Company acquired 2,420,009 ordinary shares of 1 pence per share in the capital
of the Company, and Andrew Robertson, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the
Company, acquired 4,361,500 ordinary shares of 1 pence per share in the
capital of the Company  (together, the "New Ordinary Shares"), in each case
pursuant to the terms of the Company's Unapproved Option Scheme adopted by the
Directors on 19 July 2021.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc for the New Ordinary
Shares, which will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary
shares, to be admitted to trading on the Main Market.

Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued ordinary
share capital will comprise 305,772,114 ordinary shares, none of which are
held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting
rights in East Imperial following admission will be 305,772,114.

The above figure of 305,772,114 may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Following the above, Mr Robertson holds a beneficial interest in 6,602,210
ordinary shares representing approximately 2.2 per cent of the Company's
issued share capital.
