Announcement issued on 13 February 2025, is set out below.

 

The following responsibility statement is extracted from page 129 of the 2024

Disclosure and Transparency Rule 6.3.5.  Responsibility is for the full 2024

Each of the Directors, whose names and roles can be found on pages 82 and 83

-     the consolidated and parent company financial statements, prepared
in accordance with UK adopted IAS in conformity with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 and IFRS accounting standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board, give a true and fair view of the
assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group;

 

-      the Strategic report includes a fair review of the development and
performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a
description of the principal and emerging risks and uncertainties that it
faces; and

 

-      the Annual Report and Financial Statements, taken as a whole, is
fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for
shareholders to assess the Company's position and performance, business model
and strategy.

current and future geopolitical, economic and market conditions; research
integrity issues or changes in the payment model for our scientific, technical
and medical research products; competitive factors in the industries in which
we operate and demand for our products and services; our inability to realise
the future anticipated benefits of acquisitions; compromises of our
cybersecurity systems or other unauthorised access to our databases; changes
in economic cycles, trading relations, communicable disease epidemics or
pandemics, severe weather events, natural disasters and terrorism; failure of
third parties to whom we have outsourced business activities; significant
failure or interruption of our systems; our inability to retain high-quality
