They will be disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report.

The making of these awards at these levels and with these performance condition types was set out in the Company's AIM Admission Document published in December 2019. The awards were postponed in the light of the COVID-19 crisis and further postponed due to regulatory timing restrictions on share dealings.

The Remuneration Committee has discretion to adjust the level of vesting if in its opinion such level of Vesting resulting from the application of the Performance Target is considered not to be a fair and accurate reflection of the performance of the Company or a fair and accurate reflection of the award holder's performance or where there is any other factor or any other circumstances which would make the level of vesting inappropriate without adjustment.
