**A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is therefore not
counted towards the proportion of votes "in favour" or "against"
the resolutions. The number of Ordinary Shares in issue on 4
September 2024 was 29,555,814. Shareholders were entitled to one
vote per share.
Accordingly, the Second Subscription
and the Retail Offer, details of which were set out in the
Company's announcement on 16 August 2024 (the "Launch Announcement") are expected to
complete, conditional on Second Admission (as defined below), at
8.00 a.m. on 6 September 2024 (or such later time the Company may
agree, but in any event by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 16 September
2024).
Admission and Total Voting Rights
Application has been made to the
London Stock Exchange for 3,200,000 new Ordinary Shares in respect
of the Retail Offer (the "Retail
Offer Shares") and 18,800,000 Second Subscription Shares
(together with the Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to
trading on AIM ("Second
Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become
effective, and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will now
commence, at 8:00 a.m. on 6 September 2024. Following Second
Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in
the Company will be 51,555,814 and this figure may be used by
Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, the Company.
The person responsible for arranging
the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Paul
Mines, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Unless otherwise defined,
definitions contained in this announcement have the same meaning as
set out in the Launch Announcement.

About
Biome
Biome Technologies plc is an AIM
listed, growth-orientated, commercially driven technology group.
Our strategy is founded on building market-leading positions based
on patented technology and serving international customers in
valuable market sectors. We have chosen to do this by developing
products in application areas where the value-added pricing can be
justified and are not reliant on government legislation. These
products are driven by customer requirements and are compatible
with existing manufacturing processes. They are market rather than
technology-led.
The Group comprises two divisions,
Biome Bioplastics ("Bioplastics") and Stanelco RF Technologies
Limited ("RF Technologies").
Biome Bioplastics is a leading
developer of highly-functional, bio-based and biodegradable
plastics. The division's mission is to produce bioplastics that
challenge the dominance of oil- based polymers.
RF Technologies designs, builds and
services advanced radio frequency (RF) systems. Dielectric and
induction heating products are at the core of a product offering
that ranges from portable sealing devices to large furnaces for the
fibre optics markets.
