Notification of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility

On 5 December 2025, the persons set out in the tables below, each being a

dates and at the prices set out below.
The Awards will vest subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions
measured over a three-year period from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028.
50% of the Award is subject to an earnings per share target, 25% of the Award
is subject to Return on Capital Employed target and 25% of the Award is
subject to a relative total shareholder return target. Following exercise, the
shares under the Awards issued to the Group CEO and Group CFO will be
subject to a two-year holding period (calculated from the date of vest) during
which the PDMR will not be able to sell or otherwise transfer his shares,
other than in very limited circumstances.
The number of Shares subject to the Awards has been determined by reference to
the closing price of the Company's Shares on the day before the Awards were
granted, being £1.6485 per Share.
