Strat Aero plc ("Strat Aero", the "Company" or the "Group")

Issue of Equity to Directors

Strat Aero plc, an international aerospace company focused on the rapidly emerging Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ('UAV') sector, announces, further to the placing announcement released at 7.00 a.m. this morning ("the Placing"), certain Directors of the Company have agreed to apply certain outstanding compensation and expenses accrued during 2017 for the subscription of equity on the same terms as the Placing.

New Shares

The Board has agreed that a total of 42,857,143 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "New Shares") will be issued at a price of 0.035p per New Share (being the recently announced "Placing Price") to Iain McLure, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Board has agreed that a total of 42,857,143 New Shares will be issued at the Placing Price to Paul Ryan, Non-Executive Director.

For the avoidance of doubt these New Shares are in addition to the recently announced placing for GBP590,000 (before costs).

Following the issue of the New Shares, Iain McLure and Paul Ryan will have a beneficial interest in 142,857,143 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each (representing 3.75% of the issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company) and in 153,257,143 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each (representing 4.02% of the issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company) respectively.

Director Dealings and Related Party Transaction

Iain McLure and Paul Ryan are considered to be "related parties" as defined under the AIM Rules and accordingly, the issue of New Shares to them constitutes a related party transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

The directors independent of the transaction, being Graham Peck and Gerrard Dempsey, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Details of the New Shares

Application will be made for the New Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and dealings will commence in the New Shares on or around 11 December 2017.

Total Voting Rights

Following the issue of the New Shares, the issued share capital of the Company will consist of 3,809,903,314 Shares. No Shares were held in treasury at the date of this announcement. The total current voting rights in the Company are therefore 3,809,903,314.

The above total current voting rights number is the figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company.

Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) Disclosure

Certain information contained in this announcement would have been deemed inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 until the release of this announcement.
