such authority will be undertaken at the sole discretion of Morgan Stanley.

accordance with the relevant regulations (including but not limited to the
Listing Rules) and Lancashire’s general authority, as granted by
shareholders at Lancashire’s AGM held on 27 April 2022, to make market
purchases of Shares. Lancashire will announce any market repurchase of Shares
no later than 7.30 a.m. on the business day following the calendar day on
which the repurchase occurred. Shares purchased under the Programme will be
used to satisfy a number of future exercises of awards under the Company’s
