Under the Company's remuneration policy, a proportion of the Non-Executive
Directors' annual fee may be paid in the form of Ordinary Shares in lieu of
cash. Accordingly, the Company has approved the allotment and issue

Devesh Mishra

·      2,683 new Ordinary Shares representing a value of £5,000* to
Andrea Newman

 

(*Based on a closing price of £1.86 as at 27 April 2026, being the prior
trading day before allotment.)

 

Following this issue, the shareholdings of these NEDs will be as follows:

 

·      Ashley Martin will hold 39,965 Ordinary Shares (representing
approximately 0.03% of the Company's         total  issued share
capital).

·    Devesh Mishra will hold 37,089 Ordinary Shares (representing
approximately 0.03% of the Company's   Issued Share Capital).

·    Andrea Newman will hold 9,668 Ordinary Shares (representing
approximately 0.01% of the Company's  total issued share capital).

 

Application has been made for the admission of these new Ordinary Shares to
trading on AIM with admission anticipated to be on 05 May 2025.

 

Total Voting Rights

 

The total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in issue following the
issue of these new Ordinary Shares is 117,882,979. No Ordinary Shares are
held in treasury.

 

The above figure includes 731,397 Ordinary Shares that are held by
the YouGov Employee Benefit Trust to satisfy awards under the Company's
employee share schemes.

 

Shareholders may use the figure of 117,151,582 as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Group under the Financial
Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
