York, UK 4 December 2025: Abingdon Health plc (AIM: ABDX), a leading international developer, manufacturer and regulatory services provider for rapid diagnostic tests and med-tech, announces updates, under the terms of the existing Long Term Incentive Plan established in December 2022 ("LTIP" or the "Plan"). The Plan issues share options ("Options") over ordinary shares of 0.025 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") to certain directors and senior management, in order to incentivise and encourage retention in a manner that aligns with the interests of the Company's shareholders.
Regarding the FY23 LTIP, 16% of the LTIPs awarded in December 2022 have now vested against performance criteria for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 ("FY25"), based on revenue and EBITDA targets. A total of 512,800 shares with an exercise price of 7 pence have vested as illustrated below, with 2,692,199 LTIP shares from the FY23 scheme lapsing.
| PDMR | Role | Options vested and exercisable under the FY23 LTIP (FY23-FY25 inclusive) | Lapsed LTIP under the FY23 LTIP |
| Chris Hand | Executive Chairman | 68,571 | 360,000 |
| Chris Yates | Chief Commercial Officer President, Abingdon Health USA | 205,714 | 1,080,000 |

| Candice Vendettuoli | Director of QARA | 45,714 | 240,000 |
| Natalie Thrush | Chief of Staff/Head of HR | 14,400 | 75,600 |
In addition, under the terms of the Plan, the Company has awarded new nil cost LTIPs totalling 3,361,000 shares which will vest circa October 2028, following publication of audited accounts for the financial year ending 30 June 2028 ("FY28"), and subject to achieving performance targets based on revenue and EBITDA for performance in FY28. 50% of these new awards are based on achieving revenue targets and 50% are based on EBITDA targets.
New and existing LTIPs are summarised below:
| PDMR | Role | Existing LTIPs less those lapsed from FY23 | New FY26 LTIPs | Total less lapsed FY23 |
| Chris Hand | Executive Chairman | 1,298,057 | 946,000 | 2,244,057 |
| Tom Hayes | Chief Financial Officer | 660,000 | 660,000 | 1,320,000 |
| Chris Yates | Chief Commercial Officer President, Abingdon Health USA | 2,002,173 | 555,000 | 2,557,173 |
| Mark Jones | Chief Operating Officer | 997,376 | 300,000 | 1,297,376 |
| Nina Garrett | Chief Technical Officer | 839,556 | 300,000 | 1,139,556 |
| Candice Vendettuoli | Director of QARA | 549,200 | 300,000 | 849,200 |
| Natalie Thrush | Chief of Staff/Head of HR | 383,207 | 300,000 | 683,207 |
The total LTIP share options outstanding, less those which have now lapsed from the FY23 scheme, from FY23, FY24, FY25 and FY26 is 10,090,570. If all these LTIP options were to vest and be exercised this equates to 3.86% of ordinary shares post exercise of options.
