A total of 367,384 share awards have been granted under the

performance criteria and have a nominal value exercise price of
GBP0.05 per share (the "LTIP Awards").
The vesting of the Awards is subject to the satisfaction of
performance conditions assessed over the three financial years
ending 31 December 2025. Once vested, the options may be exercised
at any time until the tenth anniversary of the Award date. The
Awards are subject to claw back and malus provisions.
Performance conditions

under the LTIP are the delivery of:
-- at least 20% per annum cumulative TSR growth up to a maximum of 30% for full vesting;
-- a minimum threshold of cumulative EBITDA of GBP11 million in
the final year of the scheme. The maximum threshold is achieved
with a cumulative EBITDA of GBP12.5 million or above and in the
final year of the scheme and
-- continued improvement on ESG metrics from the 2022 LTIP
including reducing CO (2,) , setting new targets for our workforce
to reflect the ethnic and gender population of Milton Keynes, our
main HO base, and having a positive social impact on the
communities where the Group trades by working towards regular
employee volunteering commitments as well as our regular financial
commitment through our charity PACT (Personal Assurance Charitable
Trust).
Full details across the Group's ESG targets and performance can
