The exercise price for the options is 34p.
In addition, the Company has also decided to widen share option participation among its staff to incentivise and retain a broader group of employees.

These options will vest in three annual instalments with the first vesting taking place 24 months after the date of grant and will fully vest by 1 November 2025.
