The Company has received notification from Barry Gordon Gilbertson, a director of the Company,  that LGT Wealth Management UK LLP ("LGT Vestra") erroneously sold 38,813 shares in the Company held by Professor Gilbertson on 27 June 2024. In discovering and confirming their error on 10 September 2024, LGT Vestra made a corrective repurchase of the same number of shares on 10 September 2024, to which this notification relates. Although LGT Vestra and Professor Gilbertson have a discretionary investment management agreement, there was a standing instruction in place specifically not to trade in the Company's shares on his behalf unless explicitly instructed. No such explicit instruction was given. This sale and repurchase does not represent any intention for Professor Gilbertson to sell his shares in the Company.
