In addition to the above dealings by the Exercising Directors, the Company has also received valid notices to exercise a further 74,347 share options from employees under the Company's Sharesave scheme. Of this amount, 5,869 Ordinary Shares were exercised and subsequently sold by Jamie Yexley, Operations Director and PDMR of the Company, at a price of 82.25 pence per Ordinary Share, following this transaction his holding in the Company remains unchanged.

 

Further to the exercise of share options by the Exercising Directors as detailed above, the Company announces that the Exercising Directors have subsequently sold in aggregate 1,616,666 new Ordinary Shares at an average price of 87.28 pence per Ordinary Share. Additionally, Kieron Harbinson has notified the Company that he has sold a further 175,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company at an average price of 89.76 pence per Ordinary Share.
