Once settled, the purchased shares will be held by the Group in treasury, which means they will have no voting rights while they are held in treasury.

The Group also announces that, on 19 August 2024, the Group allotted 76,591 Ordinary Shares to satisfy the exercise of options in accordance with the terms of the Performance Share Plan. These Ordinary Shares were issued under the Group's block listing, which was announced on 2 August 2024.

As a result, the Group's total voting rights will be 116,322,803 while the Group's issued ordinary share capital is 116,347,803 of which 25,000 continue to be held in treasury. This figure for the total number of voting rights may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in the Group under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
