At the Company's 2017 AGM, the Board received the approval of shareholders for certain amendments to the Company's Employee Share Option Scheme 2011, including allowing the grant of options at nominal cost. The Options have been granted in line with the aim of the Company's remuneration policy which is to incentivise and reward appropriately in order to attract and retain the best people in support of the Group's strategy.

The exercise period commences on the third anniversary of the date of grant and expires on the day preceding the tenth anniversary thereof. Following today's grant, the Company now has a total of 5,030,181 options outstanding over Ordinary Shares, representing 9.1% of the Company's current issued share capital. Following the revisions to the Employee Share Option Scheme 2011 and the passing of the resolutions at the Company's 2017 AGM, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be subject to options in any ten-year period is 15% of the issued ordinary share capital.
