2. The fixed share allowance was delivered when Andrew McLaughlin was resident in Jersey and therefore is taxable in Jersey only and not in the UK.

3. Katie Murray's fixed share allowance represents payment for the period from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019.

 

 

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 £2.157.  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.
