2021 PSP Amendment

-- The Company previously notified that in relation to the 2021 PSP, a total number of 366,053 shares would potentially be required. Having reviewed the participants, the Remuneration Committee has decided to exercise its discretion to better align the list of participants to the current senior management team, to take account of a number of departures and to include Diane Giddy, Chief Financial Officer, who joined the Company in November 2021. Diane's award has been pro-rated to reflect the date of her appointment partway through the performance period. The proposed amendments will increase the total potential number of shares to 456,675.

The grant of shares is a proportion of salary as follows:

   --    Executive Director -105% of base salary 
   --    Diane Giddy, CFO: 66,262
