Director/PDMR Transaction - Initial Notification

 

The Company announces that it has granted the following awards on 7 April 2026  over the Company's ordinary shares of 20 8/11p ("Shares") as follows:

 

1.    nil-cost options over 646,976 and 367,879 Shares for no consideration to Ian McLaughlin and David Watts respectively, who are directors/persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") in the Company, under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP Options")

2.    awards over 95,595 and 60,434 Shares to Ian McLaughlin and David Watts respectively, who are directors and PDMRs in the Company, under the Deferred Bonus Plan 2022 (the "DBP Awards").

 

The number of ordinary shares awarded under the RSP Options and DBP Awards is based on the average closing share price on the London Stock Exchange between 27 March 2026 and 2 April 2026 of £1.1376. No adjustments have been made to the grant value of the awards. A further assessment will be made at the point of vest as part of the RSP performance underpin. There has been no additional discount from the price at grant to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents during the vesting period and no market value options linked to the RSP Options have been granted under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan (CSOP Options).

In respect of the DBP Awards, JTC Trust Company (CI) Limited, will transfer the beneficial interest to the participants, including the PDMRs, in satisfaction of the DBP Awards granted subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Bonus Plan 2022.
