Update on Grant of Share Options

Further to the announcement dated 18^th May 2018, the Board of redT energy plc (AIM:RED) has approved the surrender and regrant of a tranche of share options (the "Options") to subscribe for ordinary shares of €0.01 in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares").

The Options, which were originally granted under the 2015 Share Plan, are being surrendered and regranted to align with the 2018 Employee Share Option Plan adopted by the Board on 14 May 2018, which introduced HMRC scheme rules (with a CSOP, EMI and Unapproved part). The Options are on the same commercial terms as the original options granted (including the exercise price and vesting conditions) and there are no additional new options being awarded.

Options over a total of 31,512,928 Ordinary Shares will be regranted under the Employee Share Option Plan; 23,743,005 under the EMI part and 7,769,923 under the Unapproved part (there are no Options regranted under the CSOP part). The Options are granted in return for the surrender of Options over a total of 31,512,928 Ordinary Shares that were granted under the 2015 Share Plan.

As part of the surrender and regrant of the Options, Options over 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares will be regranted to Scott McGregor as a Director of the Company (4,032,096 under the EMI part and 5,967,904 under the Unapproved part) in return for the surrender of Options over 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares under the 2015 Share Plan. In addition, Options over 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares will be regranted to David Stewart as a Director of the Company under the EMI part, in return for the surrender of Options over 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares under the 2015 Share Plan.
