Intended purchase of shares by Employee Benefit Trust

In accordance with the Group's internal policy to meet anticipated obligations over the next 12 months under the Company's All Employee Share Scheme, long term incentive plans and restricted share plans, the Group has gifted £5.8m to Ocorian Limited (the "Trustee") through recycling employee contributions from its recent successful Save As You Earn all employee scheme and an additional cash contribution.

The shares will be used to satisfy the exercise of share options by employees or the release of restricted shares, including to Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMRs) of the Company.
