SAYE During 2025, no Executive Directors entered into a new savings contract under the SAYE plan. Details of all outstanding awards under this plan are included in the table on page 131. PAYMENTS TO PAST DIRECTORS (AUDITED) For Richard Smith, former CEO, vesting of previously-granted awards during the 2025 financial year were as follows: 49,328 shares (64.0% vesting) under the 2022 PSP which remain subject to a mandatory 2-year holding period; and 13,838 shares under the DBP (in relation to the 2023 annual bonus). Prior to vesting of the PSP awards, the Committee satisfied itself that Richard remained a ‘Good Leaver’, in line with its original determination on his cessation. Other than the above, there have been no payments in excess of the de minimis threshold to former Directors during the year ended 31 December 2025 in respect of their former roles as Directors. The Company has set a de minimis threshold of £5,000 under which it would not report such payments. EXIT PAYMENTS MADE IN THE YEAR (AUDITED) There have been no exit payments during the year ended 31 December 2025.

Changes in Directors and responsibilities during the 2024 and 2025 financial years which are relevant to the calculations above are as follows: 1.1. Joe Lister was promoted from CFO to CEO with effect from 1 January 2024. 1.2. Mike Burt joined the Board with effect from 1 January 2024. 2. For Executive Directors, taxable benefits consist primarily of company car or car allowance and private health care insurance. For Non-Executive Directors, taxable benefits relate primarily to certain travel expenses and accommodation which, given the relatively small numbers involved, can produce sizeable % changes from year to year. 3. The figures shown are reflective of any bonus earned during the respective financial year. Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus scheme and therefore no data is shown for them in the annual bonus table.
