Participation in the SAYE Scheme has been made available to all employees of the Company who satisfy certain eligibility criteria, giving them the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company via options granted under the SAYE Scheme.
A total of 133 employees have elected to participate in the SAYE Scheme and, pursuant to their elections, options over a total of 186,764 Ordinary Shares ("Options"), equating to 0.11 per cent. of the current issued share capital of the Company, were granted on 8 February 2023. The Options are normally exercisable between 1 February 2026 and 31 July 2026 and have an exercise price, calculated in accordance with the rules of the SAYE Scheme, of £2.430 per Ordinary Share. The exercise of Options is not dependent upon the satisfaction of performance criteria.
The following Executive Directors and persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") of the Company, have elected to participate in the SAYE scheme and their Options are included in the total figures above.
| Director/PDMR | No. of Options |

The Company also announces that Mat Hart (Chief Marketing & Technology Officer) elected to withdraw his cash contributions made in accordance with his saving contract under the Company's 2022 SAYE scheme, and therefore the 6,236 options granted to him under the 2022 SAYE have lapsed.
