The Board of Xtract announces that on 2 July 2020, the Company has awarded 19,250,000 new options over ordinary shares ("New Options"). 10,000,000 New Options (representing 2.19 per cent. of the current issued share capital) have been awarded to Directors (other than Peter Moir, Non-executive Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee who has approved the option award) and a further 9,250,000 New Options (representing 2.02 per cent. of the current issued share capital) have been awarded to employees, consultants and officers of the Company.

Half the New Options vest and are exercisable immediately on award, with an exercise price of 1.40p (the "First Tranche").
