The Plan recognises the importance of long-term engagement and retention of the Executive Management Committee (EMC) to deliver the strategy and change management programme (CMP) which will be to the benefit of all shareholders.

The options awarded under the Plan to Simon Pyper and David Bowling represent their agreement to defer 75% and 65% respectively of their total bonus award for 2022 as the strategy and CMP progresses. The share option awards under the Plan were valued at GBP1.02 being the average closing price of the Company's shares for a period of 30 days from the announcement of the strategy and CMP on 19 October 2022.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards which are structured as nil cost options.

The vesting of an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company. Fifty percent of the awards will vest on 31 December 2023 and the remaining fifty percent on 31 December 2024 and will normally remain exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant, provided the individual remains an employee or officer of the Company.

The total number of options awarded under the Plan to the Directors and other EMC members is 635,320.

The total issued share capital as at the date of this announcement is 8,846,045.
