Notification of Transaction of Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMR')

This announcement is made in accordance with Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation ('MAR') and relates to the following PDMR acquiring shares following the partial vesting of an award under the Company's Retention Award Plan ('RAP').

This vesting relates to the RAP Award made to Will Serle, PDMR on 1 June 2022. The award was conditional on continued employment with the Company and on the satisfaction of the performance conditions approved by the Remuneration Committee, which (after tax on the gross award) must be retained until the shareholding requirement is met. The award is subject to malus and clawback provisions.

The Company also announces a correction to an announcement made on 14 June 2024.
