Performance Share Plan ("PSP") - Awards of Performance Shares ("PSUs") and
Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

On 11 December 2025, awards were made of the following nil-cost options over
Ordinary Shares of 15p each in the Company ("Shares") under the terms of the
Future plc 2023 Performance Share Plan ("PSP"). These awards will normally
vest on the third anniversary of grant.

The vesting of PSUs is subject to performance conditions (as set out on page
106 of the Company's Annual Report & Accounts for FY 2025).  The award of
RSUs is subject to the resolution to approve the new Directors' Remuneration
Policy being passed at the Company's 2026 AGM.  Unless so passed, the RSUs
shall lapse in full.

The awards are made in accordance with the provisions of the Company's
approved Directors' Remuneration Policy and, as noted in the previous
paragraph in respect of the RSUs, subject to the approval of the new
Directors' Remuneration Policy.  A holding period applies to the Executive
Directors from the vesting date in respect of any Shares which vest under this
award.
