The Share Options vest on a sliding scale up to 100%, after three years from the date of grant (the "Performance Period"), subject to the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. The performance criteria are based upon the growth in the proportion of subscription revenue and Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") during the Performance Period. The growth in TSR will be measured against a base share price of 103.97p, being the average mid-market closing share price in the three days prior to 18 May 2023. The exercise price of the Share Options is £0.002 per share which equates to the nominal value of the ordinary shares.

Following this grant, the total number of share options outstanding in the Company is 3,826,487 representing approximately 4.52% of its current issued share capital of 84,461,386.
