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:

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.
