1. Sally McKone, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR") was issued with the third and final tranche of 6,132 management share awards. As set out in the Company's announcement of 18 May 2021, such awards were made as compensation for certain incentive arrangements which she forfeited or was otherwise not awarded on leaving her former employer to join the Group. The shares, to be issued from the Company's Employee Benefit Trust were determined by the Company's Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board.

The Company will cash settle the resulting tax and National Insurance elements. Accordingly, Ms McKone will be awarded a net holding of 3,249 shares. Following the award, Ms McKone will have a beneficial holding of 12,008 shares, being 0.02% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

2. Simon Holt, a PDMR , (i) made a market purchase of 2,042 ordinary shares at a price of GBP4.89 per share and (ii) exercised nominal cost options over 9,394 shares granted to him under the Company's Performance Share Plan and acquired ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company.

The option was granted on 23 December 2019 and became vested and exercisable as from 24 December 2022. The exercise of the option was settled in part by the transfer of 4,978 ordinary shares and in part with a cash payment equal to market value of 4,416 ordinary shares to meet the PDMR's liability to income tax and employee national insurance arising on the exercise of the option.

Following the transaction Mr. Holt will have a beneficial holding of 151,076 Ordinary Shares which represents 0.25% of the current issued share capital.
