NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS/PDMRs

10 June 2021 - On 8 June 2021, the Company received notice from its Employee Benefit Trust of the exercise of nil cost options granted over ordinary shares of 5 pence each ('Shares') under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP') and Deferred Bonus Share Plan ('DBSP') at a sale price of £4.77 as follows:

	LTIP 2017	27,788	14,701	13,087

D B Catalano	LTIP 2017	27,335	Nil	Nil
	LTIP 2018	8,287	Nil	Nil

Awards granted under the LTIP vest subject to the satisfaction of performance targets over the three-year performance period. The final decision on the timing of vesting of the LTIP 2017 award was deferred for a period of up to one year. Following due consideration by the Committee, including taking into account the stability of the Group following the impact of COVID-19, the Remuneration Committee agreed that it would be appropriate to release the award in line with the formulaic outcome on 1 June 2021.

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 under the DBSP 2020 Award was deferred into shares (the 'Deferred Bonus proportion'). The Remuneration Committee has now approved the exercise of the Deferred Bonus proportion taking place prior to 20 April 2023. The proportion of the bonus that would normally be deferred into shares (25%) will continue as normal and will be released after three years.

All awards were increased to reflect the dividends 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 UK Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.
