VAUDREUIL-DORION, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb 18, 2015) - Immunotec Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IMM), a direct- to-consumer company and a leader in the nutritional industry (the "Company" or "Immunotec"), today announced the terms of its new Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"). This MIP will be submitted to the Company's shareholders for approval at the upcoming Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 17, 2015.

The MIP is designed on a pool concept of sharing results of the Corporation with its key executives, selected management employees and external business consultants ("Eligible Employees").

On an annual basis, the Board of Directors will establish a "Manageable Net Profit" target for the given fiscal year ("Annual Target"), calculated as the Company's profit before income taxes adjusted for exceptional gains or for charges and costs related to circumstances which are outside of management's control.

The calculation of the amount of the bonus pool to be shared amongst Eligible Employees shall be established subsequent to year-end based on the Company's actual Manageable Net Profit provided that it is equal or higher to a certain pre-determined percentage of the Annual Target.

Each Eligible Employee shall be eligible to receive a bonus payment which shall equal a pre-determined percentage of the bonus pool. Two-thirds of the bonus payments shall be payable in cash and one-third of the bonus payments shall be payable through the issuance of common shares of the Company. Three million (3,000,000) common shares of the Company would be reserved for the issuance under the MIP for an estimated maximum dilution of approximately 4.4%.

The MIP would apply to the 2015 to 2019 fiscal years inclusively. Should the Company wish to continue the MIP after the 2019 fiscal year, the MIP would be resubmitted to the Company's shareholders for re-approval.

The Board of Directors of Immunotec has approved the MIP. The full text of the MIP appears in the Company's Management Proxy Circular which is expected to be mailed to Immunotec's shareholders and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on February 19, 2015.
