('Amino', the 'Company' or the 'Group')

Grant of Share Options

Amino Technologies plc (LSE AIM: AMO), the global provider of media and entertainment technology solutions to network operators, announces that the Group's Remuneration Committee and the Board have granted share options to the two Executive Directors.

A total of 310,000 options over the Company's ordinary shares of 1.0p each ('Ordinary Shares') are awarded to the Chief Executive Officer, Donald McGarva. As a result, Donald McGarva holds 310,000 shares options in the Company. Mr McGarva also owns 544,698 ordinary shares in the Company.

A total of 225,000 options over the Company's ordinary shares of 1.0p each ('Ordinary Shares') are awarded to Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer, Mark Carlisle. As a result, Mark Carlisle holds 225,000 shares options in the Company. Mr Carlisle also owns 8,751 ordinary shares in the Company.

Both of these grants are nil-cost options and subject to continued employment and the meeting of certain performance conditions. The options will vest over 3 years.

The Board of the Group considers share options an effective and important mechanism to incentivise and retain the executive team and to align them with shareholder interests. In addition, the Board has implemented a special bonus scheme for the two Executive Directors which would pay out, in the event of a change of control, a sum linked to the growth in share price. If this bonus becomes payable, it can be paid either in cash, or in shares of equivalent monetary value at the change of control share price, subject to the discretion of the Remuneration Committee at the time.

The FCA notification, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation is appended below.
