Policies and Procedures Relating to Transactions with Related Persons

Transactions with related persons are reviewed, approved, or ratified in accordance with policies and procedures set out in the UK Companies Act, our Articles of Association, the charter of our Audit Committee, our Related Party Transaction Policy and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. These policies and procedures regarding related party transactions are in writing and are implemented by our Audit Committee.

Each year, we require all our directors, nominees for director, and executive officers to complete and sign a questionnaire. The purpose of the questionnaire is to obtain information which can be compared to our corporate records such as accounts payable & receivable in order to identify any transactions with related persons, for inclusion in our proxy statement or annual report.

For this purpose, we consider “related persons” and “related person transactions” to be as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In addition, we review SEC filings made by beneficial owners of more than five percent of any class of our voting securities to determine whether information relating to transactions with such persons needs to be included in our proxy statement or annual report. There were no related-party transactions in 2024 that were required to be reported pursuant to the applicable disclosure rules of the SEC, except as described herein.
