Notification of Transactions of Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs")

On 6 October 2016 the PDMRs listed below were awarded ordinary shares of one pence each in the capital of the Company pursuant to the 2016 Employee Free Share Offer.

The Non-Executive Directors, while eligible to receive Employee Free Shares as part of the Employee Free Shares Offer, decided it would be inappropriate, as independent non-executive directors, to receive Employee Free Shares and so opted out of receiving Employee Free Shares.
