("SourceBio", the "Company" or "the Group")

Grant of share options

SourceBio International plc (AIM: SBI), a leading international provider of integrated state-of-the-art laboratory services and products , announces that it has granted 4,750,000 share options to Executive Directors and other employees under the Company's new Executive Share Option Plan ("ESOP"), which the Company's Board approved to establish following the passing of a resolution at the Company's AGM in June.

The share options granted were proposed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. In proposing these option grants the Remuneration Committee was conscious that no options have been granted in the past, in particular since Admission to AIM in October 2020.

The number of shares under the options that have been granted are as follows:

      Jay LeCoque, Executive Chairman and Director                2,000,000 
      Tony Ratcliffe, Chief Financial Officer and Director          1,350,000 
       Other employees                                                                   1,400,000 

The options will vest over three years in three equal annual tranches subject to the Rules of the ESOP. For all share options to become exercisable, the performance vesting condition requires a share price of 200 pence or greater, representing a premium of 43% to the closing mid-market price on 29 September 2021 of 140 pence.

For Jay LeCoque the share options have an exercise price of 162 pence per share, being the share price on Admission. This represents a premium of 16% to the closing price of 140 pence on 29 September 2021. All other share options have an exercise price of 140 pence per share, being the closing price on 29 September 2021.

All the share options have a 10-year term from the date of grant (subject to their earlier exercise or lapse in accordance with the rules of the ESOP).

Following the grant of the share options outlined above, the total share options outstanding will be 4,750,000 representing approximately 6.4% of the 74,183,038 ordinary shares in issue.
