("SmartSpace", the "Company" or the "Group")

Grant of, and amendment to, Share Options

PDMR Dealings

SmartSpace Software Plc, (AIM:SMRT) the leading provider of 'Integrated Space Management Software' for smart buildings and commercial spaces, announces that on 22 September 2021 it granted options ("New Options") over a total of 678,950 ordinary shares of 10 pence in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to 27 employees ("Employee Options"), including PDMRs of the Company.

Options over a total of 327,035 Ordinary Shares have been granted to employees under the Company's Enterprise Management Incentive ("EMI") Share Option Scheme and options over 351,915 Ordinary Shares have been granted under the Company's Unapproved Share Option Scheme to employees not qualifying for the EMI Share Option Scheme.

The New Options have an exercise price of 137.5p per Ordinary Share (being the closing mid-market share price on 21 September 2021), and will vest three years from the date of grant (ensuring the employees remain in continuous employment within the Group for a three year period) and once vested, are exercisable at any time up to ten years after the date of grant. The options do not carry any performance criteria.

PDMR Options

Included in the New Option grant noted above, 338,950 Options have been granted to Frank Beechinor, Chief Executive Officer, and 125,000 to Kristian Shaw, Chief Financial Officer. These options do not carry any performance criteria.

In addition, the remuneration committee has decided to extend the performance period relating to a total of 351,441 existing options previously granted to Frank Beechinor and Guy van Zwanenberg which are expected to lapse in October 2021 due to the share price performance criteria not being achieved (the "Existing Options").
