Combined with the awards granted to the individuals on 1 April 2025, these awards complete the LTIP grants being made to the Company's Executive Directors in 2025, and reflect the increased levels of LTIP award, as approved within the remuneration policy, to each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer:

The awards above were granted as conditional awards and will ordinarily vest on 6 June 2028, subject to the grantee's continued service and the Remuneration Committee's assessment of the extent to which the award's performance conditions are satisfied. The awards above are subject to a two-year post-vesting holding period.
The vesting of 75 per cent. of such awards (the "Relative TSR Part") is subject to the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance over a three-year period relative to the TSR performance over the same period of the constituents of the FTSE 250 Index (excluding investment trusts and the Company). One quarter of the Relative TSR Part will vest for median ranking performance, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the Relative TSR Part for upper quartile ranking (or better) relative TSR performance.
The vesting of 25 per cent. of such awards (the "EPS Part") is subject to targets set for growth in adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS"). One quarter of the EPS Part will vest for an Adjusted EPS over the measurement period of 30% compound annual growth rate ("CAGR"), rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting of the EPS Part for an Adjusted EPS over the measurement period of 45% CAGR (or better).
As an additional condition, a term of the performance conditions include that no part of such LTIP awards will vest unless the Remuneration Committee is satisfied as to overall Company performance over the period until vesting, and, as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Remuneration Committee will retain a power to moderate the vesting levels from awards if this is appropriate in all of the circumstances, including consideration of shareholder experience.
The following notifications, made pursuant to Article 19 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, provide further details.
