On 26 April 2021 the Company granted options over ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") under the LTIP to the following PDMRs:

 
                       Number of Ordinary 
                    Shares over which options 
 PDMR                        granted                  Exercise price 
 David McCreadie             55,319             GBP0.40 per Ordinary Share 
                  ---------------------------  ---------------------------

                  ---------------------------  --------------------------- 
 Nick Davies                 15,085             GBP0.40 per Ordinary Share 
                  ---------------------------  --------------------------- 
 Nick Shepherd               7,780              GBP0.40 per Ordinary Share 
                  ---------------------------  --------------------------- 
 John Bevan                  14,323             GBP0.40 per Ordinary Share 
                  ---------------------------  --------------------------- 
 

The number of shares under each option was set by reference to a value per Ordinary Share of GBP11.75. GBP11.75 is the average mid-market price determined between 21 and 23 April 2021.

Each option has been granted subject to performance conditions based on sliding scale measures of: (1) the Company's total shareholder return over the performance period (see below) relative to the total shareholder return of a group of eight comparator companies over the same period; (2) the Company's total shareholder return over the performance period relative to the total shareholder return performance of the current constituent companies of the FTSE Small Cap Index (excluding investment trusts) over the same period ; (3) the compound annual rate of growth of the Company's total shareholder return over the performance period (10% p.a. for threshold vesting, to 30% p.a. for full vesting of this element); and (4) an assessment of the Company's approach to risk management over the performance period.

The performance conditions also include an underpin measure in respect of the total shareholder return elements, which includes an assessment of general financial performance, shareholder experience and risk management performance.

The performance period in each case is a period of three years starting on 1 January 2021 and ending with 31 December 2023.

Each of the four performance conditions noted above accounts for 25% of the option.

Each option will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Company's Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors, determines the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied. Each option will be released so that the participant is entitled to exercise the vested Ordinary Shares on the vesting date except in the case of Rachel Lawrence and David McCreadie when the date of release will be at the end of a holding period which shall end on the second anniversary of the vesting date.

In accordance with the terms of the options, the exercise price payable may be waived before exercise.

The Company further granted options over Ordinary Shares without performance conditions but subject only to the participant's continued service through to the applicable vesting date, but with discretion retained for the Remuneration Committee to potentially reduce the award on settlement if it considers appropriate to do so under the LTIP plan to the following PDMRs:

 
                    Number of Ordinary 
                  Shares over which award
