OMEGA DIAGNOSTICS GROUP PLC

("Omega" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Grant of share incentive awards to Directors and senior managers

   1.   Establishment and operation of the Company's new Long Term Incentive Plan 

Omega (AIM: ODX), the specialist medical diagnostics company focused on industry-leading Health & Nutrition and Global Health products, announces that, on 8 June 2022, it granted awards ("Awards") over ordinary shares of 4 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Executive Directors pursuant to the terms of its newly established Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), details of which are set out below:

 
 Director      Board Position    Number of          Number of          Total number 
                                  Ordinary Shares    Ordinary Shares    of Ordinary 
                                  over which         over which         Shares over 
                                  "Performance       "Retention         which Awards 
                                  Awards" granted    Awards" granted    granted 
 Jag Grewal    CEO                  4,700,715          1,200,000         5,900,715 
              ----------------  -----------------  -----------------  -------------- 
 Chris Lea     CFO                  4,339,121          1,000,000         5,339,121 
              ----------------  -----------------  -----------------  -------------- 
 

The LTIP has been established in order to incentivise Executive Directors and certain senior managers to deliver long term value for shareholders, align their interests with the various stakeholders and retain these key individuals within the business. No consideration was paid for the grant of the Awards, which have been structured as "nil cost" options.

The Performance Awards detailed in the above table will normally vest on the third anniversary of grant but only if, at that time, the Company's share price (averaged over a 90day period) is equal to or greater than 12 pence per Ordinary Share. Vesting will normally be dependent on the continued employment of the participant within the Group.

The vesting of the Retention Awards is dependent solely on continued employment over the period of three years from grant (or, in the case of Chris Lea, the period of three years from 30 August 2021, being the date on which he was originally appointed as an Executive Director).

Once the Awards have vested, they will generally be available to be exercised until the tenth anniversary of their original grant.

In addition, Awards over an aggregate of 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares were also granted on 8 June 2022 to certain other senior managers in the business. These Awards are all Performance Awards with the same vesting criteria as detailed above.

Further information in relation to the LTIP will be included in Omega's next annual report and financial statements.

   2.   Grant of stand-alone option to Chairman 

Omega also announces that, on 9 June 2022, it granted the following conditional option over Ordinary Shares (with an exercise price of 4 pence per share) to the Company's Chairman:

 
 Director         Board Position            Number of Ordinary 
                                             Shares over which 
                                             conditional option 
                                             granted 
 Simon Douglas    Non-Executive Chairman          200,000 
                 ------------------------  -------------------- 
 

The terms of the above option are set out in a stand-alone agreement entered into between the Company and Simon Douglas. Subject to continued appointment as a Director, it will normally vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of its grant. For the avoidance of doubt, no consideration was paid for the grant of this option.

   3.   Release of previous options 

In advance of the grant of the Awards and options detailed above, both Jag Grewal and Simon Douglas released all existing rights to acquire Ordinary Shares that had previously been granted to them under Omega's various share incentive arrangements.

   4.   Overview of options held by Omega's Directors 

Following the transactions described above, the position of those directors being granted options can be summarised as follows:
