Ilika (AIM: IKA), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology, announces that on 7 March 2022, 428,824 nominal value options previously awarded under both the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan 2018 and the Company's bonus scheme, have been exercised by Steve Boydell, CFO.

Detail of the option exercise is set out in the table below, together with the total number of ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") Steve Boydell is interested in and holds under option.

(1) It is expected that these options will not vest prior to Steve Boydell's departure in July 2022, as announced on 25 February 2022, and will therefore lapse.

Accordingly, the Company has applied to the London Stock Exchange for 428,824 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ( "Admission" ). It is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00am on 11 March 2022.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 157,645,867 Ordinary Shares and may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
