Exercise of Options

Crimson Tide announces that certain of its directors yesterday exercised options over 6,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's EMI Share Option Scheme.

On 17 November 2016 Steve Goodwin, Finance Director, exercised options over 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 1.5p per share. Following the exercise, Mr Goodwin holds 30,611,484 Ordinary Shares and also has an interest as a trustee in 9,150,000 Ordinary Shares, representing, in aggregate, 8.77% of the issued share capital.

On 17 November 2016 Luke Jeffrey, Technical Director, exercised options over 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 1.5p per share. Following the exercise, Mr Jeffrey holds 1,061,890 Ordinary Shares, or 0.23% of the issued share capital.

The new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options will rank pari passu with the existing Crimson Tide Ordinary Shares. Application has been made for the 6,000,000 shares to be admitted to AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 24 November 2016.

The total number of shares in issue following the issue of these shares will be 453,486,234. Crimson Tide has no shares in Treasury, therefore this figure may be used by Shareholders, from Admission, as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
