1. The award was made when the PDMR was resident in Jersey and therefore is taxable in Jersey only and not in the UK. No employer tax withholding is required under Jersey law. The Jersey income tax payable in respect of the vesting of the award will be paid by the PDMR directly to the Jersey tax authority.

The above transactions took place outside of a trading venue.  The market price used to determine the number of Shares withheld to meet associated tax liabilities was £2.028.  Shares retained after payment of associated tax liabilities will be held on behalf of PDMRs in the Computershare Retained Share Nominee account and will be released in instalments over a three year period.
