The vesting of these options is based on achieving certain performance criteria in the three years prior to vesting.

The exercise price for the Options is 17.25 pence per share being the Company's closing mid-market share price on 29 November 2023. The Options lapse on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and no option can be exercised before the third anniversary of the date of grant.
