The 22,500 new Ordinary Shares were issued from Ordinary Shares previously held in treasury by the Company.

 

Furthermore, on 13 January 2026, the Company purchased 15,682 Ordinary Shares at an average price of £14.78 per Ordinary Share. The shares will be held in treasury in order to satisfy the future exercise of options under the Company's Save As You Earn scheme.

 

Following this purchase, a total of 31,266 Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.

 

Total voting rights

 

Following both the exercise of the options and the share purchase, and for the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the total number of Ordinary Shares with a right to vote is 29,515,292, being the 29,546,558 Ordinary Shares in issue less the 31,266 Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

 

The above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company 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 share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
