(the “Company”)

Update on Current Share Buyback Programme
and announcement of new £25 million Share Buyback Programme

During 2024 and up to 22 April 2025, the Company has purchased for cancellation 46,310,785 of its ordinary shares of £0.001 each (“Ordinary Shares”), equating to 12.82% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital; a return of surplus capital of approximately £47.63 million from the two £25 million share buyback programmes previously announced.

In line with its disciplined approach to managing capital as part of its capital allocation framework, the Company announces that it will commence a further discretionary share buyback programme of up to £25 million (the "New Buyback Programme").

The New Buyback Programme will commence following the successful execution of the current buyback programme, which is expected to complete in May.  It is intended that any purchased Ordinary Shares will be cancelled or held in Treasury to satisfy awards under the Company’s employee share schemes.
