Following the vesting of these conditional share awards and also the vesting of conditional share awards for certain other employees on 18 November 2025 and the earlier exercise of share options by employees, in the period since 22 October 2025 the Company is transferring or has transferred a total of 76,953 Ordinary Shares previously held in treasury to satisfy the transactions. As a result, the Company's issued share capital now consists of 35,542,169 Ordinary Shares, of which 33,349 remain held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 35,508,820.
