LTIP Award
The LTIP Award is intended to incentivise and reward a defined level of share price growth and shareholder value creation, as the Company seeks to accelerate the delivery and sales of its immunotherapies.

The maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares under option pursuant to the LTIP Award is approximately 2.3 million, representing 0.036% of the Company's issued share capital.
The LTIP Award has been made in the form of nominal cost options under the 2023 Long Term Share Incentive Plan. The number of ordinary shares under the LTIP Award granted to the CFO is set out in the table below.

The LTIP Award is subject to a share price performance target and commercial, financial and operational performance targets as described below. Subject to the meeting of the performance conditions, the award will vest 28 February 2030.
The share price performance targets were set in the context of the share price during the third quarter of calendar year 2024. The testing period will be the final 60 trading days prior to 28 February 2030 (the "Testing Period"), and the targets can be summarised as follows:
· No New LTIP Award will vest if the volume weighted average share price for the Testing Period is less than 10p
· 10% of the New LTIP Award will vest if the volume weighted average share price for the Testing Period is 10p
· 100% of the LTIP Award will vest if the volume weighted average share price for the Testing Period is 16p
· If the volume weighted average share price for the Testing Period is between 10p and 16p, the New LTIP Award will vest on a straight-line basis from 10% to 100%
Additional gateway conditions which must be achieved for any LTIP Award to vest include partnership deals for product launches, revenue targets for the period through 30 June 2029 and targets relating to manufacturing output.
The LTIP Award will be subject to good/bad leaver provisions, malus and clawback conditions, an overall cap on the value which can be earned and an overriding Remuneration Committee discretion to vary the level of vesting to ensure values earned reflect company performance and the experience of shareholders.
