Application for Additional Listing of Shares

McBride plc (the 'Company') announces it has submitted an application to the
Financial Conduct Authority ('FCA') and the London Stock Exchange ('LSE') for
4,502,575 ordinary shares of 10 pence each ('New Ordinary Shares') to be
admitted to the Official List of the FCA and admitted to trading on the
premium segment of the LSE's main market for listed securities. The New
Ordinary Shares are expected to be admitted to trading on the LSE from 8:00am
on 23 October 2025.

The New Ordinary Shares are being issued to satisfy the vesting of certain
employee share awards, which were granted in 2022. The New Ordinary Shares
will rank pari passu with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares.

The Company confirms that the New Ordinary Shares being issued fall within the
scope of its existing share issuance authorities and have been included in the
calculation of potential dilution under the Investment Association's
guidelines and the relevant plan rules.

The Company intends to make a loan available to Apex Group Fiduciary Services
Limited (in its capacity as trustee of The McBride plc Employee Benefit Trust
2012) (the 'Trustee') to purchase the majority, if not all, of the New
Ordinary Shares that are sold by employees to cover their tax liabilities
which arise as a result of the vesting of the aforementioned share awards.
These purchased shares will then be available to the Trustee for the
satisfaction of future share awards.

Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will have
178,559,903 ordinary shares of £0.10 each in issue (including 42,041 ordinary
shares of £0.10 each held in treasury). Consequently, shareholders may use
the figure 178,517,862 as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
of their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.
