B.P. Marsh, the specialist investor in early-stage financial services businesses, announces that on 20 April 2026 a further 16,512 ordinary shares of 10 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company have been granted to eligible employees pursuant to a Share Incentive Plan (the "SIP") (as announced originally on 29 March 2016).

Under the SIP, Ordinary Shares are acquired in three ways:

·    Partnership Shares, where an employee can purchase up to £1,800 worth of shares;

·    Matching Shares, where B.P. Marsh can give up to two free Matching Shares for each Partnership Share bought; and

·    Free Shares, where the Company can give each eligible employee up to £3,600 worth of free shares in any tax year.

In accordance with the SIP's rules, a total of 12 eligible employees applied for the 2026-27 SIP awards and have each been granted 551 Ordinary Shares ("2026-27 Free Shares"), representing £3,598.03 at a price of £6.53 per Ordinary Share. Furthermore, all eligible employees have elected to take up the opportunity to acquire 275 Ordinary Shares ("2026-27 Partnership Shares"), equating to £1,795.75 at a price of £6.53 per Ordinary Share.  For every Partnership Share that an employee acquires, the SIP Trust has awarded two free Ordinary Shares ("2026-27 Matching Shares") equating to 550 Ordinary Shares to each participating employee. In aggregate, each eligible employee will hold an additional 1,376 Ordinary Shares under the SIP. The 2026-27 Free and Matching Shares are subject to a 1 year forfeiture period.

Certain Directors have participated in this award and further details of the Directors' interests in Ordinary Shares (as at today's date, following the award of 2026-27 Free, Partnership and Matching Shares) are set out below:
