The Pebble Group, a leading provider of digital commerce, products and related

Plan and its sub-plan, the International Sharesave Plan (together the
"Sharesave Plan").

All employees of the Company and its subsidiaries based in the UK, US
and Canada (including executive directors) as at 17 September 2024 (the
"Eligible Employees") were invited to participate in the Sharesave Plan.

Eligible Employees were invited to subscribe for options over the Company's
Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each ("Shares") with an exercise price of 45
pence per Share ("Options").  This represents a 20% discount to the closing
market price of 56 pence per Share on 16 September 2024, being the trading
day before the invitation for Eligible Employees to participate was made.
 The Options are exercisable at the end of a three year savings period.

A total of 72 people elected to participate in the Sharesave Plan representing
approx. 17% of total Eligible Employees.  Including and pursuant to these
elections, options over a total of 1,322,186 Shares have been granted
representing 0.8% of the Company's current issued share capital.
