                                Issue of Equity 
 
Bioventix plc (AIM: BVXP) announces that it has today applied for 47,725 
ordinary shares of 5 pence each (the "Option Shares") to be admitted to trading 
on AIM (???Admission"). It is expected that Admission will 
occur and that dealings will commence in the Option Shares on 18 July 2016. 
 
The Option Shares are being issued pursuant to the exercise of options by 
employees of the Company. The Option Shares will rank pari passu with the 
existing ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the capital of the Company 
("Ordinary Shares"). 
 
The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following Admission will be 
5,098,656 and the Company holds no shares in treasury. Therefore the total 
number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 5,098,656. 
 
The above figure of 5,098,656 may be used by shareholders as the denominator 
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to 
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Bioventix under the 
FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
