NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ("PDMRs") IN ORDINARY SHARES OF 10p EACH IN THE COMPANY ("Shares")

 

As announced on March 8, 2021, the Company terminated its American Depositary Receipt program in connection with the additional US listing of its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

The ADSs were mandatorily exchanged for nil consideration at a ratio of 10 ADSs to 1 ordinary share on March 8, 2021.  This is a notifiable transaction and does not involve any disposal of such interests. Fractional share entitlements arising in connection with such exchange will shortly be sold in the market and an appropriate notification made in due course.
