*None of the New Options are exercisable within the first 12 months from the date of issue except in the case of a change of control of the Company.

The Company has a total of 56,929,200 options in issue over Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 13.9 per cent. of the Company's current issued share capital.

As previously explained in the announcement of 19 November 2020 referred to above, in the event that the exercise of options would result in any individual or concert party holding more than 30 per cent of the Company, shareholders will be asked to approve a whitewash, as defined under rule 9 of The Takeover Code. In the absence of this, or unless it was agreed that any such exercised shares would be sold immediately, the Company will not allow the issue of shares relating to the exercise of options that would result in the concert party exceeding 30 per cent.

Further details and the information required in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU exit) Regulations 2019/310 are set out at the end of this announcement.
