The notification set out below is provided under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation ('MAR').

On 14 November 2025, the Company granted to Siobhan Boylan the following awards ('Buyout Awards') to compensate for remuneration she forfeited on leaving her previous employer.

The Buyout Awards were structured as conditional awards to acquire ordinary shares in the Company and were granted under a one-off award arrangement established under UK Listing Rule 9.3.2(2) in order to facilitate the recruitment of Ms Boylan.

The vesting timelines are the same as those which applied to the forfeited awards.

Further details will be disclosed in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ending 31 December 2025.

Awards have been made in the form of conditional awards to acquire ordinary shares in the Company which are subject to time-based vesting.
