The Company announces the following transactions in connection with certain of its employee share plans.

Long Term Incentive Plan 2021 ("LTIP")

On 10 April 2026, the Company made conditional awards over ordinary shares of £0.0001 each ("Shares") under the Company's LTIP to those Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (each a "PDMR") outlined below.

The awards are subject to the achievement of performance conditions over a three-year period and a subsequent two-year holding period.  The shares will accrue a dividend equivalent between the award date and the end of the holding period.

The number of Shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based on a price of £1.1432 per Share. This is the average closing middle-market share price, as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange, for the five business days preceding the award date.

The awards relate to the deferral into shares of 33.3% of the bonuses paid to the PDMRs in relation to the financial year ending 31 December 2025.  Under the Company's directors' remuneration policy, at least 33.3% of the annual bonus payable to the directors are settled in deferred share awards, with 50% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the award date and the remaining 50% vesting on the second anniversary of the award date.  The shares will accrue a dividend equivalent between the award date and the relevant vesting date.  

The number of Shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based on a price of  £1.1432 per Share.  This is the average closing middle-market share price, as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange, for the five business days preceding the award date.
