FURTHER PROGRESS IN THE US

MASS MARKET RETAIL TRIAL WITH TARGET

Byotrol plc, the specialist anti-microbial technology company, is pleased to announce that it has secured its first mass market retail trial in the US, for its 24-hour germ-kill surface sanitizer 'Byotrol24'.

The trial is due to take place over approximately 10-12 weeks at the national retailer Target. We are expecting the trial to start next month in approximately 10% of Target's 1,829 stores, following which Target will decide whether it wishes to roll-out into nationwide distribution.

This progress follows on closely from the Company having completed individual US State product registration earlier this month. Byotrol24 received formal approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency in June 2017.

David Traynor, Chief Executive of Byotrol plc comments:

"This is really good news for Byotrol. Target Corporation is one of the leading general merchandise retailers in the US and is well-known for innovation and design; it is a perfect retail match for our brand and an excellent first step in pursuing our US commercialisation ambitions."
