under the Company's EMI and non EMI schemes to Matthew Jeffs (Chief

The Options have been granted at a price of 110 pence per
Ordinary Share, being the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary
Share on 28 November 2018. They will be exercisable from 30 June

follows:
- compound annual earnings growth of 10% or more - fully vested (100%);
- compound annual earnings growth between 5%-10% - partial
vesting between 0% and 100% on a sliding scale; and
- compound annual earnings growth of 5% and below - nil.
Dependent on the performance criteria above being achieved, the

follows:
Director/PDMR Number of Options

outstanding, representing approximately 4.2 per cent. of the
current issued share capital of the Company.
Further detail is set out in the PDMR disclosure tables
below.
* Fully diluted earnings will be based on: (a) the Company's
pre-tax profit excluding exceptional items and the share option
charge and (b) the current UK corporation tax rate of 19%, such
that the fully diluted earnings calculation takes no account of
R&D and deferred tax credits. For the purposes of the fully
diluted earnings calculation, the applied rate of corporation tax
will remain constant at 19% irrespective of any current or future
changes to corporation tax.
