Director/PDMR Transaction - Initial Notification

The Company announces that it has granted the following awards on 8 September 2023 over the Company's ordinary shares of 20 8/11p ("Shares") as follows:

1.   nil-cost options over 964,095 Shares for no consideration to Ian McLaughlin, who is a director/person discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMR") in the Company, under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan (the "RSP Options");

2.   market value options linked to the RSP Options over  54,844 Shares for no consideration to Ian McLaughlin, who is a director and PDMR in the Company, under the 2020 Restricted Share Plan  (the "CSOP Options"); and

The RSP Options and CSOP Options work on the basis that the total number of Shares over which the RSP Options and CSOP Options may be exercised cannot exceed that number of Shares as on the grant date had a market value equal to the total number of Shares covered by the RSP Option and CSOP Options less the exercise price payable under the CSOP Options.

The number of ordinary shares awarded under the RSP Options is based on the average closing share price on the London Stock Exchange between 1 September 2023 and 7 September 2023 of £1.0756, discounted from that price at grant to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents during the vesting period.
