Director Shareholding and Issue of Options

CyanConnode (AIM:CYAN.L), the world leader in narrowband radio mesh networks, announces that Harry Berry, Non-Executive Director, has purchased 14,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.01p in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), at a price of 0.14 pence per share.

This brings Harry Berry's interest in the Company's current issued share capital to 110,559,292 Ordinary Shares, being approximately 0.62 % of the current issued share capital. The total amount invested to date in the Company by Mr Berry has increased from £203k to £223k.

This purchase is following the share purchase yesterday by John Cronin of £50,000 and the investment made by all Directors and certain senior managers in the Company over the past 12 months whereby Directors have used 100% of their remuneration to purchase shares in the Company at the July 2016 placing price of 0.18 pence per share. The amount invested by Directors and certain senior managers under this arrangement was £0.7 million, and was in addition to £0.3 million invested by Directors and senior managers in the Placing in July 2016, bringing the amount already invested in CyanConnode shares by the Directors and relevant senior managers over the last twelve months to £1 million.

Harry Berry commented: "As a Non-Executive Director, I would like to echo the comments that John Cronin made in the announcement of his £50,000 share purchase yesterday regarding the strong fundamentals of the business today. We have now built a world class development and delivery organisation and the value of this has directly resulted in the follow on orders from Tata Power and in Bangladesh. With additional orders booked and a world class delivery team in place, I also viewed the recent share price weakness as a buying opportunity and have therefore demonstrated my continued commitment and support through this additional share purchase."

Furthermore, pursuant to the CyanConnode Non-Executive Share Plan, which is detailed below, and following the above purchase, the Company will now grant options over 14,000,000 Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of 0.14 pence per Ordinary Share to Harry Berry. Following this grant, Harry Berry will hold options over 151,422,941 Ordinary Shares, of which 26,000,000 options have been issued under the Non-Executive Director Share Plan set out below.
