Director/PDMR Shareholding

The Company announces that on 9 December 2022 Michael Bell, Executive Chairman of the Company, and Michael O'Connell, Finance Director of the Company, exercised Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") share options (the "Options") over, in aggregate, 250,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). 150,000 Options were exercised by Michael Bell and 100,000 Options were exercised by Michael O'Connell.

In accordance with the rules of the LTIP, the Options were subject to a performance condition requiring the Company's share price to remain above 300 pence per share for 90 consecutive days, which was achieved on 13 November 2022.

The Company transferred 250,000 shares from treasury on 12 December 2022 in order to satisfy these exercises of Options (the "Transfer"). Following this exercise of Options, Mr Bell's beneficial interest in the Company comprises 2,990,967 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 18.2% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding shares held in treasury). Mr O'Connell's resulting beneficial interest in the Company comprises 1,604,195 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 9.8% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding shares held in treasury).

Following the Transfer, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 17,841,073 Ordinary Shares, each carrying one voting right, of which a total of 1,396,334 Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company is 16,444,739. This figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
