(the "Company")

 

 

Director Shareholdings

 

On 17 February 2022, the Company published a 'Director Shareholdings'
announcement, with RNS reference 0336C. It disclosed, inter alia, that
following the payment of the interim dividend on 14 February 2022, dividends
received in respect of ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company
("Shares") held by Simon Walther, Finance Director were automatically
reinvested. The announcement published on 17 February incorrectly showed only
the shares reinvested through his ISA account and not his SIP; the table below
sets out the shares bought through both his ISA and his SIP:

 

 Director/PCA   Date        Account  No. of shares  Price per Share
 Simon Walther  16/02/2022  SIP      10             458.2p
                16/02/2022  ISA      329            473.0p

 

All other information set out in the announcement published on 17 February
2022 remains unchanged.
