Furthermore, on 13 January 2026, the Company purchased 15,682 Ordinary Shares

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.
