Oxford, UK - 08 April 2026: OXB (LSE: OXB) (the "Company"), a quality and innovation-led cell and gene therapy CDMO, announces that on 07 April 2026, nil-cost share options over ordinary shares of 50 pence each in the Company were granted under the Company's 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), including Restricted Share Units ("RSU") and the Company's 2024 Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP").

As detailed in the recently published 2025 Directors' Remuneration Report:-

Re-instated LTIP awards: the LTIP grants in respect of 2024 and 2025, detailed below, reinstate the originally intended grant level for Dr. Frank Mathias and Dr. Lucinda Crabtree's 2024 and 2025 LTIP awards. The 2024 and 2025 LTIP awards were scaled back, primarily to manage the headroom available under the OXB share plans. The re-instatement honors the terms on which Dr. Mathias and Dr. Crabtree were recruited and reflects the Company's performance detailed in the 2025 Annual report and accounts. The re-instated LTIP awards remain subject to the original performance conditions and post-vesting holding periods, ensuring that the vesting of the awards is subject to the sustained strong performance of the business.

LTIP - Grant in respect of 2026: The 2026 LTIP metrics are 60% revenue, 40% Operating EBITDA margin, with target ranges in each case assessed on a constant currency basis which is set out in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for 2025.
