Transense Technologies plc (AIM: TRT), the developer of specialist sensor systems, announces that the Company has granted options ("Options") over 250,000 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), pursuant to the Company's Unapproved Discretionary Share Option Scheme and Enterprise Management Share Option Scheme, to the Company's Directors as detailed below:

The Options are exercisable at the nominal value of Ordinary Shares of 10p per share. The Options can be exercised from the third anniversary of grant until the tenth anniversary of grant (the "Exercise Period") and provided that share price targets are met as follows:
 
i)             two thirds of the Options can be exercised if during the Exercise Period the daily closing price of Ordinary Shares has exceeded £1.50 for 10 consecutive business days; and
 
ii)            one third of the Options can be exercised on a pro rata basis according to the highest daily closing price of Ordinary Shares between £1.50 and £2.00 for 10 consecutive business days during the Exercise Period (and therefore all these Options can be exercised if the £2.00 share price target is met and none can be exercised if the share price does not exceed £1.50 for 10 consecutive days). 
 
Following the above grant of Options, the total number of options outstanding over unissued Ordinary Shares is 1,464,000, representing approximately 8.9 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.  The Directors intend to make further grants to employees and consultants in due course within an overall aggregate limit of 10 per cent of the Company's issued share capital.
