Historical grants of options to PDMRs

 

On two occasions historically, options over ordinary shares in the Company have been granted to certain PDMRs, however, in error, these grants were not notified to the market. These options are also exercisable on or after their respective vesting dates, subject to certain financial and other performance conditions being met. As at today's date, none of these options have yet been exercised.
