Accsys, the fast growing and sustainable chemical technology
group, announces the issue of 1,259,449 new ordinary shares of
EUR0.05 each in the Company ("Shares") to the Company's Employee
Benefit Trust ("EBT").
These Shares have been conditionally issued and allotted
following the vesting in August 2016 and recent exercise of nil
cost options, granted in 2013 under the Company's 2013 Long Term
Incentive Plan.
The Shares will be issued pending (amongst other things)
admission to AIM and Euronext Amsterdam, which is expected to take

Notes to editors:
Accsys ( Accsys Technologies PLC ) is a fast growing business
with a purpose: changing wood to change the world. The company
combines chemistry, technology and ingenuity to make high
performance wood products that are extremely durable and stable,
opening new opportunities for the built environment and giving the
world a choice to build sustainably.
Accsys transforms fast-growing, certified sustainable wood into
building materials with characteristics that match or better those
of man-made, intensely resource-depleting and heavily
carbon-polluting alternatives.
The company's primary focus is on the production of Accoya(R)
wood and Tricoya(R) wood elements, as well as technology licensing
via its subsidiaries Titan Wood Limited and Tricoya Technologies
Limited. Accsys has its head office in London, UK, production
operations in Arnhem, the Netherlands, an American office in
Dallas, Texas, and is constructing the world's first Tricoya(R)
plant in Hull, UK.
Accsys is committed to a more sustainable world, and uses
abundantly available wood sources that are certified as
sustainable. With our business model already aligned with several
UN Sustainable Development Goals, Accsys is currently working on
identifying further strategic ESG priorities to have an even
greater positive impact on the world.
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,
under the symbols 'AXS'.

Accoya (R) wood is a sustainable, durable and stable solid wood
product with exceptional performance, finish and sustainability.
Accsys' proprietary acetylation process makes the wood more
dimensionally stable and, because it is no longer easily
digestible, extremely durable. Produced from certified (e.g. FSC(R)
) sustainable sources, Accoya(R) wood has many environmental
credentials and ecolabels, and is one of very few building
materials to be Cradle to Cradle Certified(TM) at the Gold level,
with a Platinum rating for Material Health, confirming that no
harmful or toxic additives or chemicals are present to leach out
into the environment.
With an up to 50 year warranty and 70+ year service life, the
combination of sustainability, dimensional stability, durability
and retained strength means that Accoya(R) wood offers a wealth of
new opportunities to architects, designers, specifiers,
manufacturers and homeowners. These benefits result in lower
maintenance and total cost of ownership while also offering
significant sustainability benefits. For more information about
Accoya (R) wood, visit www.accoya.com .
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 panel products such as
medium density fibreboard (MDF) and particle-board.
Panel products made with Tricoya(R) wood elements are truly
durable and stable enough for use outdoors and in wet environments.
Combining the sustainability, durability and stability from our
acetylation process with the ease of use and quality finish of wood
panel products, the enhanced durability and dimensional stability
opens new opportunities for the use of these products, making them
suitable in applications and environments that previously required
solid wood, synthetic or unsustainable materials.
Tricoya(R) wood elements have been lauded as the first major
innovation in the wood composites industry in more than 30 years.
For more information about Tricoya (R) wood elements, visit
www.tricoya.com .
In March 2017, Accsys announced the formation of the Tricoya(R)
Consortium to fund, build, own and operate the Tricoya(R) plant in
Hull, UK, through its subsidiary Tricoya Ventures UK Limited. M
embers of the consortium include BP and the leading manufacturer of
sustainable wood-based panels, MEDITE Europe DAC. More information
is available at:
https://www.accsysplc.com/about-us/accsys-corporate-structure/
Wood acetylation is a process which increases the naturally
occurring acetyl content of wood, thereby changing its physical
properties. When carried out to a sufficient degree throughout the
wood, as with Accsys' proprietary process, it significantly reduces
the ability of the wood to absorb water without adding any toxic or
harmful compounds, elements or substances that were not already
present in the wood. This makes it much more dimensionally stable
and, because it is no longer easily digestible to most organisms,
extremely durable.
