In addition, the Company has granted Awards under the PROACTIS Group Executive Bonus Plan 2017 over a maximum of 259,469 Ordinary Shares as follows (the "Executive Bonus Plan Awards"):

Further details on the LTIP Awards and the Executive Bonus Plan Awards are set out in Paragraph 6 of Part VII of the Admission Document.

Furthermore, the Company has granted 451,842 Options to Tim Sykes. These Options are granted at a price of 43 pence per Ordinary Share and replace those granted to Tim Sykes on 2 June 2006 and which subsequently lapsed whilst the Company was in a close period such that Mr Sykes was unable to exercise these Options.
