As noted in the Company's 2019 annual report, in addition to his role as a Non-executive Director, David Hansell provides commercial and leadership services to the Company's Defence division. Accordingly, CSOP options have been granted to him to reflect his contribution to the future development of this division.

Following the grant, options over 1,575,000 Ordinary Shares will be in issue, representing approximately 9.4% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding Ordinary Shares held in treasury). However, the Company's employee benefit trust (EBT) currently holds 245,048 Ordinary Shares which it is intended will be used to satisfy some of the options. Ignoring those options to be satisfied from the EBT, options over 1,329,952 Ordinary Shares will be in issue, representing approximately 7.94% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding Ordinary Shares held in treasury).

The notifications below, made in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, provide further details.
