Recruitment Award

 

On 20 November 2024, the Company's new General Counsel, Kevin Massie, was granted a nil-cost conditional award (the "Recruitment Award") over ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company ("Shares"). The Recruitment Award has been granted over 4,383 Shares.

 

The Recruitment Award has been granted in order to facilitate Kevin's recruitment, and to replace certain share awards granted to him by his former employer and which he forfeited on joining the Company.
