In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (as such Regulation has become part of domestic law by virtue of and for the purposes of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020) and as such Regulation has been amended in such form by any regulations made under that Act), the schedule below contains detailed and aggregated information of the individual trades made by Peel Hunt LLP as part of the Buyback Programme.

This announcement is made in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 12.4.6.

In line with the recent change to UK Listing Rule 9.6.6 concerning the timing of notifications of share repurchases, the Company will move from daily announcements to a consolidated weekly announcement. The Company will publish a RNS announcement each week setting out all share purchases executed on trading days during the preceding week, presented in both aggregated and detailed form consistent with the current disclosure content. The amendments to the UK Listing Rules relate solely to the timing of announcements and do not affect the information required in such announcements.
