Such repurchase would be made outside of the Company’s Share Buyback Programme announced on 15 July 2026.
The Company will make a further announcement as appropriate following the repurchase of these Ordinary Shares.

The Company’s total issued share capital is 37,100,000 Ordinary Shares. Following the transfer of 835,249 Ordinary Shares from treasury to the Employees, the Company now holds 479,239 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the company is 36,620,761.
