DIRECTOR/PDMR SHAREHOLDINGS

Awards under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Company announces that on 12 May 2020, its Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") were granted the following nil-cost share awards over ordinary shares of £0.05 each in the Company ("Shares") under the Company's 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

The number of shares under such awards is normally calculated based on a percentage of salary and the share price at the date of grant. The number of shares under these awards this year has instead been calculated using the higher share price at the date of grant of last year's awards (subject to adjustments in relation to exchange rate movements), resulting in the grant being over a significantly lower number of shares than would otherwise be the case.

PDMRs	Position	No of LTIP awards granted
Ed Story	Chief Executive Officer	1,550,855
Jann Brown	Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer	1,550,855
Dr Mike Watts	Managing Director	1,550,855

These awards will generally vest over three years from the date of grant, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions and a subsequent two-year holding period.
