Charles Wigoder (Executive Chairman and a PDMR of the Company) and the Wigoder Family Foundation, (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders") have sold, subject to completion, 2,500,000 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company (the "Placing Shares") at a price of 1,450 pence per share (the "Placing"). The Placing was carried out in response to strong institutional demand in the Company's shares.

Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") and Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") are acting as joint bookrunners to the Placing. The Placing Shares represent approximately 3.2% of the Company's issued share capital.

The proceeds of the Placing are payable in cash and will be settled on a T+2 basis (unless otherwise agreed), and settlement of the Placing is expected to occur on or about 2 December 2021.

The remainder of the Company's shares controlled by the Selling Shareholders following the Placing will be subject to a lock-up which ends 6 months after completion of the Placing (subject to waiver by Numis and Peel Hunt and to certain customary exceptions). The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
