The gross gain, at the point of exercise, attributable to each of Peter Egan and Yvonne Monaghan in respect of the above transactions, prior to any taxation liabilities and dealing costs, was £167,040 and £429,780 respectively.

The LTIP options were granted on 8 May 2015. The Approved LTIP options were granted on the same date and were intended to allow, where possible, the participant to receive part of the gain under the LTIP award tax efficiently. The participant received the same gross gain as he or she would have received had they only been granted the LTIP award and not been granted the LTIP award and the Approved LTIP award. At the time of exercise, options granted under the LTIP award were forfeited to the same value as the gain on the Approved LTIP award.

Following the above transactions, Peter Egan retains a beneficial interest in 105,368 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.03% of the Company's total issued share capital as at today's date, and Yvonne Monaghan retains a beneficial interest in 614,086 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.17% of the Company's total issued share capital as at today's date.
