As described on page 238 of the prospectus issued by the Company on 6 July 2010, on 21 June 2010 Tim Steiner entered into seven forward sale agreements, each in connection with 2,000,000 Shares (the "Forward Sale Agreements"), for the transfer of 14,000,000 Shares in aggregate held in his name to his father, Nicolas Steiner, in consideration of £100 and 97 percent of the market value of the Shares on completion (which amount may be paid over three years).

As previously reported on 17 May 2013, 13 May 2016, 2 June 2019, 20 May 2022 and 24 July 2023, the parties agreed to delay the date of completion.

The second Forward Sale Agreement was extended to, and subsequently completed on, 30 June 2021. The completion of the third and fourth Forward Sale Agreements were extended to 24 July 2024. Each of the remaining three Forward Sale Agreements were due to complete on 24 July 2025 or such other date as the parties may agree.

By agreement dated 24 July 2024, Tim Steiner and Nicolas Steiner have further agreed to extend the completion date of the remaining Forward Sale Agreements as follows:

The third Forward Sale Agreement is extended to 24 July 2025 and the fourth Forward Sale Agreement is extended to 24 July 2026.

The completion of each of the remaining three Forward Sale Agreements is extended to 24 July 2026.

All other terms of the Forward Sale Agreements remain unaltered.
