NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS/PDMRs

25 March 2021 - On 24 March 2021, the Company received notice from its Employee Benefit Trust of the exercise and partial sale for tax of nil cost options granted over ordinary shares of 5 pence each ('Shares') under the Company's Deferred Bonus Share Plan ('DBSP') by Dr K D Hewson as follows:

 
 Total number of   Number of shares   Aggregated 
   shares sold       sold for tax      Sale price 
                                         (GBP) 
     16,270              7664           GBP4.29 
                  -----------------  ------------ 
 

Awards granted under the DBSP usually vest three years from grant, subject to satisfaction of service conditions. However, given the unprecedented circumstances brought about by COVID-19, and the decision of the Board not to recommend a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019, the proportion of the bonus that would normally have been paid in cash was deferred into shares (the 'Deferred Bonus proportion'). The Remuneration Committee has now approved the exercise of the Deferred Bonus proportion taking place prior to 20 April 2023. The proportion of the bonus that would normally be deferred into shares (25%) will continue as normal and will be released after three years.

The award was increased to reflect the dividend paid during the restricted period.

The Notification of Dealing Form can be found below.

This announcement is made in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.
