ABCAM PLC

("Abcam" or the "Company")

Issue of Equity and Director/PDMR Shareholding Notification

Abcam plc (AIM: ABC, the "Group") announces that it has made an application for the admission to trading on AIM of 1,784,189 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each in the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares"). These New Ordinary Shares have been issued to satisfy share options vesting under AbShare, the Company's all employee share scheme launched in 2018 and rank pari passu with the existing shares of the Company. Admission to trading on AIM of the New Ordinary Shares is anticipated to occur on 12 November 2021.

At admission, the issued share capital of the Company will consist of 228,776,756 ordinary shares, with no shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Group will therefore be 228,759,798. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator to determine if they are required to notify their interests in, or a change in interests in, the Group under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

In addition, certain PDMRs exercised options and received New Ordinary Shares under the rules of the Abcam plc Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) or under AbShare and sold a sufficient number of shares to fund the tax, national insurance and dealing charges, with the balance retained. See below the notification and public disclosure of transactions by PDMRs and persons closely associated with them.
