Duke Royalty Limited

("Duke Royalty" or the "Company")

Company share option scheme

Duke Royalty announces that a new share option scheme ("the Scheme") has been adopted by the board of the Company, together with the initial grants made under the share option scheme.

Prior to the Scheme being established, the Company did not have a long term incentive plan. The Scheme has been established to incentivise directors, staff and certain key advisers and consultants to deliver long-term value creation for shareholders.

Under the Scheme, the board of the Company will award, at its sole discretion, options to subscribe for ordinary shares of the Company on terms and at exercise prices and with vesting and exercise periods to be determined at the time. However, the board of the Company has agreed not to grant options such that the total number of unexercised options represents more than 10 per cent. of the Company's Ordinary Shares in issue from time to time. The board also expects that the exercise price will be at a premium to the mid-market share price at the date of granting the options.

Awards have been approved for the following individuals, as follows:

Name	Position	Number of options awarded
Nigel Birrell Charlie Cannon-Brookes Neil Johnson Jim Ryan Directors total Consultants and advisors Total	Director Director Director Director	85,000 85,000 85,000 85,000 340,000 420,000 760,000

The options vest with immediate effect, have an exercise price of 75p and expire five years after the date of issuance.
