exercised a nil-cost award over ordinary shares of 25

The LTIP Award was granted on 10

to profit and relative total shareholder return ("TSR"). The
Company's remuneration committee assessed the performance
conditions and determined that 680,000 awards should be granted

The LTIP Award will be satisfied
using existing shares purchased in the market by the trustee of the
Company's employee benefit trust. The Ordinary Shares
acquired on exercise are subject to a holding period expiring 10
September 2025.
Following the exercise of the LTIP
Award, Nat Rothschild1 is interested in
46,539,426 shares Ordinary Shares
(save for unvested or unexercised awards), representing
approximately 25.62 per cent. of the Company's issued share
capital.
1 Including those shares
held through NR Holdings Ltd, of which Nat Rothschild is a
beneficiary.
