Correction to Resolution 14 for the Annual General Meeting

On 20 May 2022 notice of annual general meeting (AGM) and a proposed waiver of
Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers was sent to all shareholders
of the Company (AGM Notice). The AGM is due to be held on 21 June 2022. An
error in resolution 14 in the AGM Notice has come to the attention of the
board of directors and therefore resolution 14 is to be amended as follows
(amendments are underlined):

To approve the waiver by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers of any requirement
under Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the Takeover Code) for
Christopher Mills and persons presumed to be acting in concert with him under
the Takeover Code (the Concert Party) to make a general offer to shareholders
of the Company as a result of market purchases by the Company of up to
1,366,100 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the
authority to be sought under Resolution 12 above which would have the effect
of increasing the Concert Party's aggregate interest to 34.21% of the
Company's voting rights.

This increase in percentage is due to a small number of shares in the Company
(83,924 in total) held by Harwood Capital Nominees Limited which are managed
by Christopher Mills through Harwood Capital LLP on a discretionary basis and
should have been included within the Concert Party's shareholdings set out in
the AGM Notice. The Concert Party's total shareholdings in the AGM Notice
should therefore be 4,205,664 (rather than 4,121,740).

Votes already cast will remain valid and shareholders do not need to take any
action unless they wish to amend their voting. Shareholders that have already
voted and wish to amend their voting are advised that this may be done by no
later than 48 hours before the AGM (that is midday on 19 June 2022).

Shareholders who have not as yet voted are requested to take this amendment
into account when voting. The resolution proposed at the AGM shall be the
above amended resolution and the form of proxy for the AGM remains unchanged.
