TyraTech Inc. (AIM: TYR, and TYRU), the life sciences company focused on nature-derived insect and parasite control products, is pleased to announce the results of the Tender Offer, details of which were set out in the shareholder circular published by the Company on 4 December 2017.

Under the Tender Offer 204,994,390 Common Shares were validly tendered and will be purchased at a price per Common Share of 3 pence, for an aggregate purchase price of $8.4 million. The Common Shares purchased under the Tender Offer represent approximately 55.8 per cent. of the Company's Issued Capital.

It is anticipated that the proceeds payable under the Tender Offer to the Company's Shareholders who hold their Shares in certificated form will be despatched on 15 January 2018 in the form of a cheque.

It is anticipated that retirement of the shares will occur on 8 January 2018 and after this time Shareholders may use 161,587,641 as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.
