conditional right to receive Ordinary Shares, payable in equal tranches at the
end of 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024. The number of Ordinary Shares
deferred and net of tax, as shown below, was calculated by reference to the

The total of 32,977 Ordinary Shares were purchased by the Company on 10 March
