non-executive director ("NED") and chair of its audit and risk committee ("ARC
Chair") with effect from close of business on 30 September 2025.

Chris is a seasoned finance professional, with extensive experience in
executive and non-executive roles. He qualified as a chartered accountant with
KPMG in 1980 and, after nine years with PepsiCo Inc, joined WPP in 1989 where
he ultimately held the position of Deputy Group CFO.

Since retiring from this executive position in 2016, Chris has enjoyed a
successful career as an NED on a number of listed and unlisted boards,
including with the Unlimited Marketing Group Limited, the marketing services
group, prior to its sale to Accenture in 2024.

He is currently NED and chair of the audit risk and AIM rules and compliance
committee of TPXimpact Holdings plc and NED of M&C Saatchi plc, the
AIM-listed creative solutions group, where he represents the principal
shareholder.

Chris will also join the Company's Nomination and Remuneration Committees.

As announced on 29 July 2025, Richard Nichols, current NED and ARC Chair, will
remain in role until close of business on 30 September 2025.

Rob Woodward, Chair, commented:

"The Board is delighted that Chris will be joining the Board and taking over
the reins as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.  The combination of
Chris's background and expertise in finance and the media industry will be of
great value and his reputation for thoughtful contribution and intellectual
rigour precedes him.

I would like to thank Richard Nichols for his many years of contribution and
hard work on the board of the Company. We wish him all the best for the
future."
