On 26 May 2026 (the 'Grant Date'), the Company granted awards under the Hill

below:

 Director / PDMR  Name            Job Title                Type of award    Number of shares

The number of shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based

The awards to Rutger Helbing and Chris McLeish were disclosed in the 2025
Directors' Remuneration Report included within the Company's 2025 Annual
Report and supplement those made on 18 March 2026 to align with the updated
Directors' Remuneration Policy approved at the Annual General Meeting held on
21 May 2026.

The Awards will vest based on the achievement of relative Total Shareholder
Return (40%), Underlying EPS Growth (50%) and the Company's reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions (10%) over a 3-year performance period. The
performance conditions are detailed in the 2025 Directors' Remuneration
Report.

The Awards will (subject to the achievement of the performance conditions)
vest following the end of the performance period. For Rutger Helbing and Chris
