Grant of LTIP Awards

Quantum Base (AIM: QUBE), the quantum science company focused on creating a
new global standard in authentication, announces that on 11 December 2025, the
following awards ("Awards") over ordinary shares of GBP 0.001 each in the
Company ("Shares") were granted under the Quantum Base Holdings PLC Long Term
Incentive Plan ("LTIP") to the following persons discharging managerial
responsibilities:

 Participant         Position                                Award Designation        Number of Shares under Award
 Tom Taylor          Chief Executive Officer                 Performance Share Award  568,181
 Prof. Robert Young  Co-Founder & Chief Science Officer      Performance Share Award  568,181
 David Howarth       Chief Technology Officer                Performance Share Award  173,160

The Awards were granted as options with an associated option exercise price of
GBP 0.001 per share.

The Awards will ordinary vest and become exercisable as from 1 May 2028,
subject to the grantee's continued service and to the extent to which the
Award's performance conditions are met.

As summarised in the table immediately below; such performance conditions set
threshold to stretch targets in respect of the Company's total shareholder
return ("TSR") over the period 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2028 (the "Performance
Period"). No portion of the Awards shall performance vest unless the Company's
TSR over the Performance Period reaches the threshold target, for which 25% of
the Awards would performance vest, rising on a straight line basis to full
performance vesting of the Awards for the Company's TSR over the Performance
Period being equal to the stretch target or better.

 TSR over the Performance Period       % of the Awards that vests
 Below 100%                            Nil
 100%                                  25%
 Greater than 100% but less than 200%  Calculated on a straight line basis between 25% and 100%
 200% or above                         100%

The base point for starting TSR shall be a share price of 23.1p (the Company's
offer price at time of IPO earlier this year) and a one month averaging period
looking back from the end of the Performance Period shall be used for the
purposes of the end point calculation.

The LTIP was adopted by the Board of the Company on 1 December 2025 and
includes best practice provisions including in respect of leaver terms and
malus and clawback terms.

On the same day as the grant of the Awards noted above awards were also
granted under the LTIP to 14 other employees in respect of a total of 915,103
Shares. Such awards have a tranched vesting profile and the vesting in respect
of which is conditioned service based only.

About Quantum Base

Quantum Base is a quantum science company creating a new global standard in
authentication through its patented Q-ID solution - unbreakable and
non-replicable authenticity tags that can be applied to a vast array of
products, significantly mitigating counterfeiting.

The technology underpinning Q-IDs harnesses randomness at the atomic level,
and this volume and variation ensure that there is virtually an infinite
number of combinations that can be created. The Q-ID is practically impossible
to replicate using even the most advanced available technology.

Q-IDs can be applied to almost any print line and can be entirely
non-intrusive to a product's existing design, meaning that they can be
utilised in a vast number of end markets. The authentication process to
identify printed tags is undertaken using existing and unmodified smartphone
technology, providing easy authentication and proven security for global
brands, governments and consumers.
