The New Ordinary Shares were subscribed for by the Company's employee benefit

listed securities of the London Stock Exchange plc and dealings in the New
Ordinary Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 17 May 2022. The New

ordinary shares.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the total number of ordinary
shares in issue will be 158,337,000. The Company does not hold any ordinary
shares in treasury. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the
share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
