NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF PDMR

14 June 2021 - On 11 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 Deferred Bonus Share Plan ('DBSP') and sale of shares at a price of £4.74 by the following Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMR'):

PDMR	Award	Number of shares exercised and sold	Number of shares retained	Number of shares sold for tax
B Sala	DBSP 2020	11,285	Nil	Nil

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.

The award was 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.
