("Plant Health Care" or the "Company")

Grant of options

Plant Health Care(R), a leading provider of novel patent-protected biological products to global agriculture markets, is pleased to announce changes to the long-term incentive package of key employees.

The Company's Remuneration Committee aims to incentivise and motivate key employees, to align interests with shareholders. The Committee has reviewed existing long-term incentives and believes that they do not adequately achieve that aim. The Committee has therefore decided that directors should be invited to surrender Options which have an exercise price of 20p or above per share and replace them with new options with an exercise price of 10p per share. The new options are offered at the ratio of 80 shares in the Company under option for every 100 shares in the Company under option being surrendered.

The Board has therefore agreed to accept the surrender of options over 7,695,733 ordinary shares of 1p in the Company (the "Existing Options") by certain directors, being Dr Christopher Richards, Chief Executive Officer, Dr Richard Webb, Non-executive Chairman, Jeffrey Hovey, Chief Financial Officer, and Jeffrey Tweedy, Chief Operating Officer. These Existing Options, which have a weighted average exercise price of 29p, will be replaced by options over 6,156,586 ordinary shares of 1p (the "New Options"). The option grants have been made under the Plant Health Care plc 2017 Employee Share Option Plan and Plant Health Care plc 2017 Non-Employee Share Option Plan as appropriate. The New Options have an exercise price of 10p per share and a 5-year life.

The table provides additional details:
