Exercise of Options and Dealing by a Director
AB Dynamics plc (AIM: ABDP), the designer, manufacturer and
supplier of advanced testing systems and measurement products to
the global automotive market, announces the exercise of options
held by Dr James Routh, Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the

Shares").
The options were exercised on 1 May 2020 and the exercise price
of the options is 1,230 pence each.
Disposal of Ordinary Shares
On 1 May 2020, Dr Routh sold 28,900 ordinary shares at a price
of 1,750 pence per ordinary share to facilitate the exercise cost
and associated tax liability of the exercise. Following this, Dr
Routh's shareholding in the Company has increased by 4,433 shares,
his total shareholding (including the shareholding of persons
closely associated with him) is 6,646 ordinary shares, representing
0.03 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
The Company has previously applied to list these shares as part
of the block listing of 33,333 ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each in
the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), which was announced on 3 December
2019. They were admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") on 6
December 2019.
The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing
ordinary shares in the Company. Following Admission, the Company's
enlarged issued share capital will comprise 22,549,070 ordinary
shares. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. This
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 of
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
