Result of Retail Offer
Further to the announcement dated 28 July 2023, Eden Research
plc (AIM: EDEN), the AIM-quoted company that develops and supplies
breakthrough biopesticide products and natural microencapsulation
technologies to the global crop protection, animal health and
consumer products industries, is pleased to announce that,
following the closing of the Retail Offer on the BookBuild Platform
on 2 August 2023, 6,090,070 Ordinary Shares will be issued at a
price of 6.5 pence per Retail Offer Share in connection with the
Retail Offer.
Consequently, 13,945,076 Firm Placing Shares, 2,978,001 Firm
Subscription Shares, and 6,090,070 Retail Offer Shares, resulting
in a total of 23,013,147 new Ordinary Shares, will be issued in
relation to the Placing, Subscription and Retail Offer, raising
total gross proceeds of GBP1.5 million.
Application has been made for the Placing Shares, Subscription
Shares, and Retail Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM
("Admission"). Admission is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on
3 August 2023.
Following the Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in
the capital of the Company in issue will be 404,121,754 with each
Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no
Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore the total number of
voting rights in the company is expected to be 404,121,754. The
above figure may be used by Shareholders in the Company 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, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure, Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meaning
given to them in the placing and retail offer announcement dated 28

The value of Ordinary Shares and the income from them is not
guaranteed and can fall as well as rise due to stock market and
currency movements. When you sell your investment, you may get back
less than you originally invested. Figures refer to past

future results. Returns may increase or decrease as a result of
currency fluctuations.

"expect" and words of similar meaning, include all matters that are
not historical facts. These forward-looking statements involve
risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause the actual
results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and dividend
policy and the development of the industries in which the Company's

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance
Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacture"
(for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements)
may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Retail Offer Shares
have been subject to a product approval process, which has
determined that the Retail Offer Shares are: (i) compatible with an
end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the
criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each
as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for
distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the
"Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Retail
Offer Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of
their investment; the Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed
income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Retail
Offer Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in
conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment
and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses
that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without
prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling
restrictions in relation to the Retail Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b)
a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest
in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect
to the Retail Offer Shares. Each distributor is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Retail Offer Shares and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
EU Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and
10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing
MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID
II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which
any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product
Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto,
the Retail Offer Shares have been subject to a product approval
process, which has determined that the Retail Offer Shares are: (i)
compatible with an end target market of retail investors and
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)
eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are
permitted by MiFID II (the "EU Target Market Assessment").
Notwithstanding the EU Target Market Assessment, distributors
should note that: the price of the Retail Offer Shares may decline
and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the
Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; and an investment in the Retail Offer Shares is
compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income
or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an
appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
The EU Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the
requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling
restrictions in relation to the Retail Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the EU Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any
investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase or take
any other action whatsoever with respect to the Retail Offer
Shares.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Retail Offer Shares and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
