The Company has made a grant to the Executives, in respect of 2022 in order to ensure continuity of long term incentive, of options over 8,698,909 new Ordinary Shares in Eden ("the Options"), at a strike price of 5.05p each, being the 2022 Volume Weighted Average Price, in the amounts of 4,968,000 awarded to Sean Smith and 3,730,909 awarded to Alex Abrey.

The Options expire on 31 August 2027 and vest as follows:

1/3 24 months from the date of grant

The notifications below, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, provide further detail.

Separately, the Board has agreed that it will extend the exercise date to 31 December 2023 for the 3,500,000 options (2,000,000 awarded to Sean Smith and 1,500,000 awarded to Alex Abrey) with a strike price of 6p which were granted to the Executives in April 2021 under the Company's LTIP and which were due to expire on 30 June 2023.

The extension has been agreed to due to the unusually long closed period that the Executives were placed in prior to the options' expiration date.
