ACCSYS TECHNOLOGIES PLC
("Accsys" or "the Company")
Accsys Employee Share Participation Plan
Accsys, the chemical technology group focused on the acetylation
of wood, previously established an Employee Share Participation
Plan (the "Plan") intended to promote the long term growth and
profitability of Accsys by providing employees with an opportunity
to acquire an ownership interest in new ordinary shares in the
Company ("Shares") as an additional benefit of employment.
Following the release of the Company's Interim Financial Results
for the six months ending 30 September 2014, Accsys announces that,
through the Plan, various employees have subscribed for a total of
53,922 Shares at an acquisition price of EUR0.79 per Share (being
the closing price of shares in the Company on 5 December 2014 on
Euronext Amsterdam, the closing date for subscriptions of Shares
under the Plan).
All of the above Shares in the Company will be issued pending
admission to trading on AIM and Euronext which is expected to take
place on 19 January 2015.
Following the issue of all the above Shares, the Company will
have a total of 88,800,894 Shares in issue.

Notes to editors:
Accsys Technologies PLC(www.accsysplc.com) is an environmental
science and technology company whose primary focus is on the
production of Accoya(R) wood and technology licensing via its
subsidiary, Titan Wood Limited, which has manufacturing operations
in Arnhem, the Netherlands (through its subsidiary Titan Wood
B.V.), a European office in Windsor, United Kingdom, and an
American office in Dallas, Texas (via its subsidiary Titan Wood,
Inc). All group subsidiaries are ultimately 100% owned by Accsys
and trade as Accsys Technologies. Any references in this
announcement to agreements with Accsys shall mean agreements with
either Accsys or its subsidiary entities unless otherwise
specified. Accsys Technologies PLC is listed on the London Stock
Exchange AIM market and on Euronext Amsterdam by NYSE Euronext,
under the symbols 'AXS'. Accsys' operations comprise three
principal business units: (i) Accoya(R) wood production; (ii)
technology development, focused on a programme of continuous
development of and improvements to the process engineering and
operating protocols for the acetylation of solid wood and the
development of technology for the acetylation of wood elements; and
(iii) the licensing of technology for the production of Accoya(R)
wood and Tricoya(R) wood elements across the globe.
Accoya(R) wood (www.accoya.com) is produced using Accsys'
proprietary patented acetylation technology, that effectively
converts sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into
what is best described as a "high technology wood". Distinguished
by its durability, dimensional stability and, perhaps most
importantly of all, its reliability (in terms of consistency of
both supply and quality), Accoya(R) wood is particularly suited to
exterior applications where performance and appearance are valued.
Unlike most tropical and European hardwoods, its colour does not
degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light. Moreover, the Accoya(R)
wood production process does not compromise the wood's strength or
machinability. The combination of UV resistance, dimensional
stability, durability and retained strength means that Accoya(R)
wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to architects, designers
and specifiers. These benefits result in lower maintenance and
total cost of ownership while using a higher sustainable and
environmental responsible building material. For a full archive of
Accoya(R) news, visit www.accoya.com/news.asp.
Tricoya(R) Wood Elements(www.tricoya.com) are produced using
Accsys' proprietary technology for the acetylation of wood chips,
and particles for use in the fabrication of wood based composites,
including panel products. These composites demonstrate enhanced
durability and dimensional stability which allow them to be used in
a variety of applications that were once limited to solid wood or
man-made products. Exploitation of Accsys' proprietary technology
relating to Tricoya(R) Wood Elements is carried out through Tricoya
Technologies Limited, a joint venture between Accsys and INEOS
Industries Holdings Limited. Tricoya(R) Wood Elements are lauded as
the first major innovation in the wood composites industry in more
than 30 years.
Wood Acetylation is a process which increases the amount of
'acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby changing its physical
properties. When carried out to a sufficient level throughout the
wood, this process protects wood from rot by making it "inedible"
to most micro-organisms and fungi, without - unlike conventional
treatments - making it toxic. It also greatly reduces the wood's
tendency to swell and shrink, making it less prone to cracking and
ensuring that, when painted, it requires dramatically reduced
maintenance.
Accsys Technologies is the trading name of Titan Wood Limited.
ACCOYA(R), TRICOYA(R) and the Trimarque Device are registered
trademarks owned by Titan Wood Limited ("TWL"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Accsys Technologies PLC, and may not be used or

the Tricoya(R) registered trademark, from Tricoya Technologies
