NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS/PDMRs

On 20 October 2020, the Company received notice from its Employee Benefit Trust of the exercise and partial sale for tax of nil cost options granted over ordinary shares of 5 pence each ('Shares') under the Company's Deferred Bonus Share Plan ('DBSP') by Mr J P Bridges as follows:

Total number of shares sold	Number of shares sold for tax	Aggregated Sale price (£)
10,934	5138	£4.29

Awards granted under the DBSP usually vest three years from grant, subject to satisfaction of service conditions. However, given the unprecedented circumstances brought about by COVID-19, and the decision of the Board not to recommend a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019, the proportion of the bonus that would normally have been paid in cash was deferred into shares (the 'Deferred Bonus proportion'). The Remuneration Committee approved the exercise of the Deferred Bonus proportion with effect from 20 October 2020 for non-Board PDMRs. The proportion of the bonus that would normally be deferred into shares (25%) will continue as normal and will be released after three years.

The award was increased to reflect the dividend paid during the restricted period.

The Notification of Dealing Form can be found below.

This announcement is made in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.
