Gelion plc

("Gelion" or the "Company")

CEO Board Appointment and Grant of Options

Further to the appointment of John Wood as CEO with effect from 21 November 2022, Gelion (AIM: GELN), the Anglo-Australian battery storage innovator, is pleased to announce his appointment to the Board with immediate effect, following the Company's AGM held on 9 December 2022 and completion of the required regulatory due diligence.

Grant of Options

In conjunction with Mr Wood's appointment to the Board, Mr Wood has been granted 2,704,000 options ("Options") to subscribe for new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), in accordance with the terms of the Company's new Share Option Plan. The Options have an exercise price of 0.1 pence and will vest in three tranches as set out below, provided that on each vesting date Mr Wood is in continuous employment with Gelion. The Options expire, to the extent that they have not been exercised, on 12 December 2027.

-      1,622,400 Options will vest 12 months from the date of grant

-      540,800 Options will vest 24 months from the date of grant

-      540,800 Options will vest 36 months from the date of grant

All Options are subject to both malus and clawback provisions and good and bad leaver provisions. All unvested options will vest in certain corporate events such as a takeover of the company or a change of control. In these circumstances the Options would normally vest and become exercisable in full unless the Board decides that the Options will be pro-rated to take account of the date the corporate event took place during the normal vesting period.

Subsequent to this issue of Options, the Company has approximately 8.68 million Options in issue, representing 8.0 % of the Company's issued share capital.

Dr Steve Mahon, Chairman of Gelion, said: "I am delighted to welcome John to the Board. In the few short weeks since he joined as CEO, his wealth of commercial, battery and manufacturing experience is already coming to the fore. We look forward to the future under his leadership with a clear ambition to take Gelion to the next level of growth to deliver shareholder value."
