Launch of 2018 SAYE Scheme

Chapel Down Group plc, the NEX listed English wine and drinks producer, announces today that it has launched a Save As You Earn ('SAYE') share scheme for all eligible employees, under which employees have been offered the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company via share option arrangements.

Eligible employees were invited to subscribe for options over the Company's Ordinary Shares of 5 pence each ('Ordinary Shares') with an exercise price of 60 pence, a 20 per cent. discount to the closing middle market price of the Company's Ordinary Shares on 26 June 2018, the trading day before the invitation to participate was made. The options have a contract start date of 1 August 2018 and are exercisable between 1 August 2021 and 31st January 2022.

A total of 32 employees elected to participate, and pursuant to these elections a total of 244,620 options over Ordinary Shares have been issued, equating to 0.17 per cent. of the current issued share capital.

Several Directors of the Company, detailed below, have elected to participate in the SAYE scheme and are included in the total figures above.

As a result of this option grant, the Directors' interests in Ordinary Shares are as follows:

Director   Options granted over   Total interest held   % of issued share
