Board Changes

Following the level of acceptances reached in connection with Bidco 1125
Limited's ("Bidco") recent offer for the Company which closed on 15 May 2026,
and at the request of Ian Livingstone and Luke Johnson, who together hold a
majority of the shares in Bidco, the board of directors of the Company (the
"Board") announces that Luke Johnson has been appointed as a non‑executive
director of the Company with immediate effect. In addition, Ian Livingstone
will act as a Board observer on behalf of Bidco, but will not have a right to

As part of his role, Mr. Johnson will join the Company's Audit and Risk and
