The Company announces that it has issued and allotted 625,281 new ordinary shares of £0.02 each ("Ordinary Shares") following the exercise of share options by employees under the Company's 2016 and 2021 Long Term Incentive Plans. Some of these Ordinary Shares were issued to certain Directors and PDMRs, including Charles Sweeney (CEO), Dawn Hillman (CFO), Robert Kendal (MD of Tamdown) and Sarah Darville-Downs (FD of Tamdown). Certain Directors and PDMRs chose to sell a portion of these Ordinary Shares to cover the tax liability arising from the exercise.

Application has been made for the 625,281 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares and it is expected that admission will occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 8 March 2023.
Total voting rights
Upon Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 46,182,185 Ordinary Shares with equal voting rights. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 46,182,185.
With effect from Admission, this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The Admission does not impact the Tender Ratio associated with the Tender Offer and capital return previously announced to shareholders on 28 February 2023.
In accordance with DTR 3.1 and Article 19 of The Market Abuse Regulation, the Company was notified on 1 March 2023 that the Directors and Persons Discharging Management Responsibilities ("PDMR") listed below sold Ordinary shares in the Company in London on 1 March 2023 at a sales price of £1.50 per Ordinary Share.
