 1. The award was granted when the PDMR was resident in 
  Jersey and therefore is taxable in Jersey only and not 
  in the UK. No employer tax withholding is required under 
  Jersey law. The Jersey income tax payable in respect of 
  the vesting of the award will be paid by the PDMR directly 
  to the Jersey tax authority. 
 

The above transactions took place outside of a trading venue. The market price used to meet associated tax liabilities was GBP2.145. Vested Shares retained after payment of associated tax liabilities will be subject to a retention period of twelve months.
