Grant of Options to Directors

iomart Group plc (AIM: IOM) the secure cloud services company, announces that, on 24 October 2025 the Remuneration Committee granted options over ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to: (i) Richard Last (Executive Chair) under the rules of a Share Option Agreement entered into with him on 25 October 2025; and (ii) Scott Cunningham (CFO) under the rules of the Company's Performance Share Plan 2020 as amended by the Remuneration Committee on 20 October 2023 and 11 April 2024 (together the "Plans").

The options granted under the Plans have an exercise price of 1p each and will vest on 24 October 2028 based on certain performance conditions.

These options, together with other options granted to Executive and Senior Management under a long term incentive plan and other share plans on the same date, and which similarly vest on 24 October 2028, result in an additional shareholder dilution of 5.23% which is within our existing levels of authority.

The following table sets out the interest of each director in options over Ordinary Shares:
