Treasury Share Purchase Programme on its behalf during open periods. It is due
to commence on 1 June 2026 and will conclude on or before 10 July 2026.

Share Purchase Programme shall not exceed the Company's existing authority
obtained at its Annual General Meeting held on 19 November 2025 (the '2025
Authority') of 159,815,369, being the amount of the 2025 Authority not yet
utilised as at the date of this announcement.

the 2025 Authority (ii) the assimilated UK Market Abuse Regulation No.
596/2014 and assimilated Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (in
