Following a review of the Group's staff incentives policy, in September 2025 the Board decided to close the Plan. In line with the rules of the Plan (approved by shareholders at the AGM held in April 2021), the closure has resulted in the award of Matching Shares to which all participating employees are entitled in respect of Shares they purchased under the Plan. The Matching Shares acquired by the Directors/PDMRs are set out below.

Mark Heather | Group Governance Director and Company Secretary | 3,988 |
The Matching Shares were transferred to the individuals named above from FDM's Employee Benefit Trust.
The award of Matching Shares was settled net, after deduction of the tax payable by the individuals on the award.
The Matching Shares acquired by the Executive Directors remain subject to the Plan's malus and clawback provisions and will be retained by the Executive Directors as required for the purposes of the post-employment shareholding requirement in the Directors' Remuneration Policy.
