Management Retention Plan ("MRP")

The Company announces the following grant to the following Director and PDMR of nil cost options over ordinary shares of the Company of nominal value 0.002 pence per share (the "Shares") on 12 October 2022 under the rules of the Company's MRP, which was adopted by the Board in 2015:

 
 Name of Director/PDMR    Position           Number of ordinary shares

This award is subject to malus and clawback and may not be exercised or disposed of until 28 January 2023.

Award to the Interim Executive Chairman

Following his appointment as Interim Executive Chairman on 14 September 2022 and recognising the need to have a strong retention and motivational share plan in place for the Interim Executive Chairman, the Board has also approved a grant of stock options by way of three tranches to Christopher Hopkinson as follows:

Tranche 1: An Option over 250,000 Shares with an exercise price of 0.002 pence per Share (being the nominal value of a Share);

Tranche 2: An Option over a further 500,000 Shares with an exercise price of 89.8p per Share (equal to the closing middle market quotation of a Share on 14 September 2022); and

Tranche 3: An Option over a further 500,000 Shares with an exercise price of 89.8p per Share.

The award of options to the Interim Executive Chairman shall ordinarily vest, subject to any dealing restrictions at that time, on 14 September 2023 subject to (in the case of Tranche 2) the volume-weighted average closing middle market quotation for the 30-day period ending on 13 September 2023 being at least 115% of the exercise price applicable to Tranche 2 and (in the case of Tranche 3) the volume-weighted average closing middle market quotation for the 30-day period ending on 13 September 2023 being at least 130% of the exercise price applicable to Tranche 3.
