New Incentive Option Scheme

The Real Good Food Company plc ("the Group"), owns the largest independent non-refining distributor of sugar in Europe (Napier Brown) and is a supplier of bakery ingredients (Renshaw) and a manufacturer of sweet bakery products (Haydens) for a range of major retail customers.

The board of directors of the Real Good Food Company plc announces that it has put in place a new incentive option scheme (the "Scheme") for the Group's Executive Chairman, Pieter Totté.

Since Pieter took on the role of Executive Chairman in November 2009, shareholders have seen the share price increase more than seven fold and the board recognises that Pieter's vision and executive drive will continue to be a major factor in both the performance of the Group and the further enhancement of shareholder value going forward.

Under the Scheme, Pieter has been granted share options over 3,817,726 ordinary shares, equivalent to 5% of the enlarged fully diluted share capital of the Group. All of the Options are exercisable at 25p, but will vest in tranches and only once the mid market price of the Group's ordinary shares has remained consistently above a set target price for a 30 day period:

(as % of Option Pool)	Vesting target price
40%	£1.00
20%	£1.50
20%	£2.00
20%	£2.50

Once the Options have vested they may be exercised at any time within a period of five years from the date of vesting.
