Grant of Options

Surgical Innovations Group plc (AIM: SUN), the designer, manufacturer and distributor of innovative medical technology for minimally invasive surgery, announces that the Board has resolved to grant share options under the existing Enterprise Management Incentive scheme to acquire a maximum of 12,050,000 ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of 3.50 pence each, exercisable between 28 March 2022 and 27 March 2029 (the "Options").

The Options have been granted to a number of key personnel, including awards to PDMRs of 3,000,000 Options to Melanie Ross, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and 600,000 to Charmaine Day, Company Secretary. Following the grant of Options, the beneficial holding of Melanie Ross in the Company is 2,078,354 ordinary shares (representing 0.26% of the issued share capital) and 10,750,000 share options. David Marsh, CEO and Adam Power, Group Development Director have chosen to waive their option entitlement, as they are each already significant shareholders in the Company and seek to provide opportunities for other key management to increase their stake within the available headroom.
