provided that the price at which Saracens will purchase the shares shall at all times be fixed at the market price of the Group's shares at 5:00pm on the date of signature of this Letter of Intent.

Alan Calder, Chief Executive Officer of GRC International, said: "We are thrilled to become part of Saracens' commercial partner family. As cyber threats grow and new regulations come into force, organisations need to change the way they tackle cyber security. We are pleased that Saracens has recognised the need for cyber resilience and look forward to helping them on their continuous improvement journey."
