PRESS RELEASE

  AMOEBA announces the issuance of the eighth tranche of 26 bonds convertible
     into shares as part of its bond financing with incentive program with
                                 Nice & Green.

Lyon (France), august 19, 2019 - AMOEBA (FR0011051598 - AMEBA), producer of a
biological biocide capable of eliminating bacterial risk in water and human
wounds, and a biocontrol product for plant protection, still in trial phase,
announces the issuance of the eighth tranche of bonds convertible into shares
("OCAs") of its bond financing with incentive program, namely 26 OCAs numbered
from 183 to 208 fully issued to Nice & Green S.A.

It is recalled that the general meeting of Amoéba shareholders held on 14
January 2019 (the "General Meeting") voted in favor of setting up this
financing by delegating its authority to the Board of Directors to decide to
issue bonds convertible into shares with cancellation of shareholders'
preferential subscription rights to Nice & Green (see press release dated 16
January 2019).

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, using the sub-delegation granted to
him by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 16 January 2019, decided, in
accordance with the announced issuance schedule (see press releases dated 20
December 2018 and 16 January 2019), to issue on August 16, 2019, 26 OCAs
numbered from 183 to 208 to Nice & Green S.A. corresponding to the eighth
tranche of the bond financing.

As provided for in the Issuance Agreement, these OCAs were fully subscribed at
a price equal to 96% of their nominal value, representing a eighth tranche of
OCAs for a total net amount of EUR499,200.

It is recalled that under the terms of the Issuance Contract, Amoéba will have
to issue the other 4 tranches of OCAs according to the following issuance
schedule and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent (see
press releases dated 20 December 2018 and 16 January 2019):

Date                         Number of OCAs issued
16 september 2019                 209 to 234
15 october 2019                   235 to 260
15 november 2019                  261 to 286
16 décember 2019                  287 to 312

The above schedule may be modified and/or adjusted by mutual agreement between
the Company and Nice & Green or in accordance with the provisions of the
Issuance Agreement, provided that its duration does not exceed the period of
validity of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting (see
press release dated 20 December 2018).

As a reminder, the Company maintains on its website a monitoring table of the
OCAs and the number of Amoéba shares in circulation (see Investors section /
Regulatory information and financial documents / Other information).
