Following Admission, there will be a total of 617,517,005 Ordinary Shares in issue. 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, Minoan under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Option Expiry Dates

Shareholders are aware from previous announcements that, historically, certain directors and executives have agreed to accept options in lieu of their remuneration. These options are due to expire on 31 December 2021. Minoan's Board has decided that it is in the best interest of the Company to extend the expiry date of those options granted to the directors Grahame Cook, Barry Bartman and Timothy Hill and certain others who are not on the Board.

As a result, the expiry dates of options to subscribe for a total of 11,252,136 ordinary shares in the Company at 1p per share have been extended to 31 December 2022.
