Notification of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility
The Company announces that, on 24 December 2025, the persons set out in the tables below, each being a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility (a "PDMR"), were each granted an award under the Company's Deferred Share Bonus Plan (the "DSBP") (an "Award") to acquire ordinary shares of 117/200 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Shares").
The number of Shares subject to each Award has been determined by reference to the closing price of the Company's Shares on the dealing day before the Awards were granted, being £2.055 per Share.
