For release 19 April 2024

Itaconix plc

("Itaconix" or the "Company")

 

Grants of Options & PDMR dealings

 

Itaconix (AIM: ITX) (OTCQB: ITXXF), a leading innovator in sustainable
plant-based polymers used to decarbonise everyday consumer products, announces
a grant of options to certain PDMRs and two historical grants of options to
PDMRs.

 

Grant of options on 17 April 2024

 

On 17 April 2024, a total of 155,000 options over ordinary shares of £0.50 in
the Company ("Options") were granted under the Company's employee share option
plan. Of the Options granted, 100,000 Options were granted to certain persons
discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"). The Options can be
exercised on or after the vesting date, subject to certain financial and other
performance conditions being met. The following PDMRs were granted Options:

 

 Name          Position                 Number of Options granted  Exercise Price  Vesting date
 John R. Shaw  Chief Executive Officer  35,700                     152.5p          17 April 2025

Historical grants of options to PDMRs

 

On two occasions historically, options over ordinary shares in the Company
have been granted to certain PDMRs, however, in error, these grants were not
notified to the market. These options are also exercisable on or after their
respective vesting dates, subject to certain financial and other performance
conditions being met. As at today's date, none of these options have yet been
exercised.

 

 

Details of these options are as follows:
