at nil cost. Haseeb Qureshi, a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities
within the Company has elected to be issued 150,000 New Ordinary Shares of no

The Restricted Stock Units were granted on 5 July 2022 (see announcement of 7

Following Admission (as defined below), the resultant interests in the Company

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 1,920,000 New

expected that Admission will become effective, and trading will commence on 17
July 2024.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares and Allotment, the Company's
issued share capital will consist of 119,475,757 Ordinary Shares of no-par
value with voting rights ("Ordinary Shares"). The Company does not hold any
Ordinary Shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares in

The figure of 119,475,757 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the
Company from the date of admission 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 shares of the Company under the Financial
