In all cases, there was no consideration for the grant of the awards and the exercise price is nil. The awards will vest in three years' time subject to the rules of the LTIP and the performance criteria being satisfied. The performance criteria are based on the Company's growth in Earnings Per Share (" EPS ") measured over a three-year performance period ending on 28 February 2025. The EPS measure will be adjusted to eliminate 50% of the impact of changes in the USD foreign exchange rate over the three-year period.

 PDMR                                   Number of ordinary shares of 
                                         10p each over which awards were

In all cases, there was no consideration for the grant of the DBP awards, which will vest on 30 June 2025.

Tris Simmonds, Alistair Borthwick and Sebastian Davenport-Thomas have also been given corresponding options under the Company Share Option Plan (" CSOP ") over 3,412 Ordinary Shares each, which will vest on the same date as the DBP awards above. The exercise price of the CSOP options is GBP 3.175, which is the middle market quotation of the Ordinary Shares on 15 February 2023. The number of shares in respect of which the DBP award will vest will be reduced to take account of any gain in value, as at exercise, of the CSOP options.

The notifications set out below are provided in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

Further information on the LTIP, DBP and CSOP is contained in the Company's 2022 Annual Report.
