Exercise of Options

Crimson Tide announces that it was notified on 13 December that one of its directors exercised options over 1,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") under the Company's EMI Share Option Scheme.

On 13 December 2017 Luke Jeffrey, Deputy CEO and Technical Director, exercised options over 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 1p per share. Following the exercise, Mr Jeffrey holds 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares, or 0.44% 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 1,000,000 shares to be admitted to AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 21 December 2017.

The total number of shares in issue following the issue of these shares will be 454,486,234. 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.
