Grant of Options under the Employee Save As You Earn Scheme and PDMR Dealings

Following new invitations to participate in the Company's established SAYE Scheme, which is approved by H.M. Revenue and Customs (the "SAYE Scheme" or the "Scheme"), the Company provides the following update.

Pursuant to the SAYE Scheme, certain employees have elected to participate in either the three-year or five-year savings contracts offered under the Scheme. As a result, options over a total of 753,873 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("SAYE Options") were granted on 6 July 2026 at a price of £1.32 per share, calculated in accordance with the rules of the SAYE Scheme. Of the total SAYE Options granted, 473,845 relate to the three-year savings contract and 280,028 relate to the five-year savings contract.

The following persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") have elected to participate in the SAYE Scheme and their SAYE Options are included in the total figures above.

Name	Position	Savings term	Number of SAYE Options
Helen Gordon	Chief Executive Officer/Director	3-years	13,787
Robert Hudson	Chief Financial Officer/Director	5-years	23,143
Michael Keaveney	Director of Land and Development / PDMR	3-years	13,787
Eliza Pattinson	Director of Operations and Asset Management / PDMR	3-years	11,030
David Prescott	Deputy Chief Financial Officer/PDMR	5-years	23,143

Subject to the rules of the SAYE Scheme, the SAYE Options granted under the three-year savings contract are exercisable between 1 September 2029 and 1 March 2030 and the SAYE Options granted under the five-year savings contract are exercisable between 1 September 2031 and 1 March 2032. The exercise of the SAYE Options is not dependent upon the satisfaction of performance criteria and participants who choose to exercise their entitlements pursuant to the rules of the SAYE Scheme will meet the obligation to pay for the exercise of the SAYE Options out of funds they have paid into the SAYE Scheme prior to such exercise. Participants in the SAYE Scheme may opt to withdraw from the SAYE Scheme and recover their accumulated savings prior to that time.
