Vest in full or in part forthwith or on a specified future date, subject to such other conditions as the Board may reasonably require. 
 6.3
Notwithstanding the provisions of rule 6.1 the Board may in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the relevant Option Holder (or where appropriate, his personal representatives) allow an Option to be exercised in the absence of an event
otherwise permitting such exercise as referenced in rule 6.1 and, in such notice, may, acting reasonably and not so as to cause any requirement of Schedule 4 not to be met, specify alternative conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may
be exercised pursuant to this rule 6.3. 
 7. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS: RESTRICTIONS 

7.1 An Option Holder may not exercise an Option when its exercise is prohibited by, or would be a breach of the Market Abuse Regulation, or any: 

7.1.1 law; 
 7.1.2 regulation with the force of law; or 

7.1.3 rule of an investment exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded, or other rule, code or set of guidelines that binds the Company or with which
Company has resolved to comply. 
 7.2 An Option Holder may not exercise an Option at any time when the Option Holder: 

7.2.1 has a Material Interest (any interests of the Option Holder’s Associates being treated as belonging to the Option Holder for this purpose); or 

7.2.2 had a Material Interest in the 12 months before that time (any interests of the Option Holder’s Associates being treated as having belonged to the
Option Holder for this purpose). 
 7.3 An Option Holder may exercise an Option only if the Option Holder has:

7.3.2 made any arrangements, or entered into any agreements, required under rule 10; 

7.3.3 if so required by the Company, entered into a deed of adherence (in such form as may be required by the Company) with the Company and all persons who
are holders of shares in the capital of the Company at the date of exercise of the Option whereby the Option Holder becomes a party to any shareholders’ agreement or other document having a similar effect which is in force between the Company
and all persons who, at the date of exercise of the Option, are holders of shares in the capital of the Company; and 

  
 8 













 7.3.4 if so required by the Company, entered into a power of attorney in such form as may be required by the
Company. 
 7.4 An Option Holder may not exercise an Option at any time: 

7.4.1 while subject to ongoing disciplinary proceedings by any Group Company; 

7.4.2 while any Group Company is investigating the Option Holder’s conduct and may as a result begin disciplinary proceedings; 

7.4.3 while there is a breach of the Option Holder’s employment contract that is a potentially fair reason for dismissal; 

7.4.4 while in breach of a fiduciary duty owed to any Group Company; 

7.4.5 after ceasing to be an Employee, if there was a breach of the employment contract or fiduciary duties that (in the reasonable opinion of the Board)
would have prevented exercise of the Option had the Company been aware (or fully aware) of that breach, and of which the Company was not aware (or not fully aware) until after both: 

7.4.5.1 the Option Holder ceases to be an Employee; and 
 7.4.5.2
the time (if any) when the Board decided to permit exercise of the Option. 
 7.5 The Company shall not unfairly frustrate a valid exercise of the Option by
the inappropriate application of any provision of rule 7.4. 
 7.6 If an Option Holder is unable to exercise an Option due to the application of rule 7.4.1
or rule 7.4.2, following the conclusion of any disciplinary proceedings or investigation, the Board shall determine whether the Option is exercisable. If so, the Option will be exercisable, subject to these rules, on the date of such determination.

 8. TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF EMPLOYMENT 
 8.1 An
Option Holder who gives or receives notice of termination of employment (whether or not lawful) before their Option is fully Vested may not exercise an Option at any time while the notice remains effective unless the Board is satisfied that the
notice has been given or received in connection with an arrangement to transfer the Option Holder’s employment to another Group Company. 
 8.2 An
Option Holder who ceases employment with a Group Company may not exercise their Option except as permitted by rule 8.4, 8.5 or 8.6. 
 8.3 If an Option
Holder: 
 8.3.1 dies while an Employee; or 
 8.3.2 ceases to
be an Employee (whether or not following notice and for whatever reason), 
 before their Option is fully Vested, their Option shall lapse immediately to
the extent it is not Vested as at that date. 

  
 9 













 8.4 Notwithstanding any other rule of this Plan except rule 12.13, if an Option Holder dies, the Option
Holder’s personal representatives may exercise the Option to the extent Vested as at the date of death during the period of 12 months following the Option Holder’s death. If the Option is not exercised, it will lapse on the first
anniversary of the Option Holder’s death. 
 8.5 An Option Holder who ceases to be an Employee at any time due to any of the following reasons, may
exercise their Option to the extent Vested during the period of 6 months following the date the Option Holder ceases to be an Employee due to: 
 8.5.1
injury; 
 8.5.2 ill health; 
 8.5.3 disability; 

8.5.4 retirement; 
 8.5.5 Redundancy; 

8.5.6 the Option Holder’s employer ceasing to be a Group Company; or 

8.5.7 the transfer of the business that employs the Option Holder to a person that is not a Group Company, 

after which time the Option shall lapse to the extent not exercised. 

8.6 Save where rule 8.4 or rule 8.5 applies, an Option Holder who ceases to be an Employee at any time who is not a Bad Leaver may exercise their Option to
the extent Vested in accordance with these Rules. 
 8.7 An Option Holder who is a Bad Leaver may not exercise their Option, and such Option shall lapse in
full as at the date the relevant Option Holder ceases to be an Employee or, if later, the date on which the Board determines that they are a Bad Leaver. 

8.8 Subject to rule 8.9 below, an Option Holder shall not be regarded as ceasing to be an Employee until the Option Holder is no longer an employee or
director of any Group Company. 
 8.9 In respect of an Option which, as at the Notice Date, is Vested as to zero per cent., the relevant Option Holder shall
be considered to have ceased to be an Employee for the purposes of the Vesting of such Option on the Notice Date, and Vesting of such option shall cease on the Notice Date. 

8.10 If an Option Holder’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company and any Group Company, or his or
her job status, is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Option Holder has a change in status from full-time to part-time, is demoted or takes an unpaid authorised leave of absence (not amounting to such Option Holder ceasing to be an
Employee)) while holding an Option that is Unvested in whole or in part, the Board may, in its discretion, determine that the number of Shares subject to such Option shall be proportionately reduced and/or that the Vesting schedule applicable to
such Option be extended proportionately to account for such change.

 9. MANNER OF EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 

9.1 An Option may be exercised at any time permitted under the rules of the Plan. 

9.2 An Option shall be exercised by the Option Holder giving a written exercise notice to the Company, that shall: 

9.2.1 set out the number of Shares over which the Option Holder wishes to exercise the Option. If that number exceeds the number over which the Option may be
validly exercised at the time: 
 9.2.1.1 the Option shall be treated as exercised only in respect of that lesser number; and 

9.2.1.2 any excess amount paid to exercise the Option or meet any Tax Liability shall be refunded; and 

9.2.2 be made using such form as the Board has approved from time to time; 

9.2.3 include a power of attorney as required by rule 10.5; 

9.2.4 include a power of attorney if required pursuant to rule 7.3.4; and 

9.2.5 include the Option Holder’s agreement to pay the Tax Liability in accordance with rule 10. 

9.3 Any exercise notice shall be accompanied by: 
 9.3.1 payment
of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares specified in the notice unless the Option Holder has entered into arrangements approved by the Company for procuring payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price;
and 
 9.3.2 any payment required under rule 10; and/or 

9.3.3 any documents relating to arrangements or agreements required under rule 10. 

9.4 Any exercise notice shall be invalid: 
 9.4.1 to the extent
that it is inconsistent with the Option Holder’s rights under these rules and the Option Certificate; or 
 9.4.2 if any of the requirements of rule
9.3 or rule 9.3 are not met; or 
 9.4.3 if any payment referred to in rule 9.3 is made by a cheque that is not honoured on first presentation or in any
other manner that fails to transfer the expected value to the Company. 
 The Company may permit the Option Holder to correct any defect referred to in rule
9.4.2 or rule 9.4.3 (but shall not be obliged to do so). The date of any corrected exercise notice shall be the date of the correction rather than the original notice date for all other purposes of the Plan. 

9.5 Shares shall be allotted and issued (or transferred, as appropriate) as soon as reasonably practicable and not later than 90 days after a valid Option
exercise, subject to the other rules of the Plan. 

  
 11 













 9.6 Except for any rights determined by reference to a date before the date of allotment, Shares allotted
and issued in satisfaction of the exercise of an Option shall rank equally in all respects with the other shares of the same class in issue at the date of allotment. 

9.7 If the Shares are listed or traded on any stock exchange, the Company shall apply to the appropriate body for any newly issued Shares allotted on exercise
of an Option to be admitted to trading on that exchange. 
 9.8 The Company may determine that Shares allotted and issued (or transferred, as appropriate)
to satisfy the exercise of an Option shall be registered in the name of a nominee who shall hold the legal title of such Shares on behalf of the Option Holder. In such circumstances that Option Holder shall be the beneficial owner of such Shares
from the date of issuance (or transfer, as appropriate) of such Shares. 
 10. TAX LIABILITIES 

10.1 The Option Holder shall indemnify the Employer Company in respect of any Tax Liability. 

10.2 An Option Holder may not exercise an Option unless the Option Holder: 

10.2.1 agrees, in writing, to pay the Tax Liability to the Employer Company; and 

10.2.2 has made arrangements, satisfactory to the Employer Company or Company, to pay the Tax Liability. 

10.3 If an Option Holder does not pay the Tax Liability within seven days of exercise, the Company or Employer Company as appropriate, may: 

10.3.1 if the Shares are readily saleable at the time, retain and sell such number of Shares on behalf of the Option Holder as is necessary to meet the Tax
Liability and any costs of sale; or 
 10.3.2 deduct the amount of any Tax Liability from any payments of remuneration made to the Option Holder on or after
the date on which the Tax Liability arose. However, in the case of NICs, the Employer Company may only withhold such amount as is permitted by the Social Security Contributions Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/1004). 

The Option Holder’s obligations under rule 10.1 shall not be affected by any failure of the Company or Employer Company to withhold shares or deduct from
payments of remuneration under this rule. 
 10.4 At the request of the Employer Company (or Company on behalf of the Employer Company) on or before the
date of exercise of the Option, the Option Holder must enter into a joint election under section 431(1) or section 431(2) of ITEPA 2003, in respect of the Shares to be acquired on exercise of the relevant Option. 

10.5 The exercise notice for the Option shall include a power of attorney appointing the Company as the Option Holder’s agent and attorney for the
purposes of rule 10.3 and 10.4. 
 10.6 Option Holders shall have no rights to compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of Options or the
Plan where such loss arises (or is claimed to arise), in whole or in part, from the Plan not qualifying as or ceasing to be a Schedule 4 CSOP. 

  
 12 













 10.7 An Option Holder’s employer or former employer may decide to release the Option Holder from, or
not to enforce, any part of the Option Holder’s obligations in respect of secondary class 1 (employer) NICs under this rule 10. 
 11. RELATIONSHIP
WITH EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT 
 11.1 The rights and obligations of any Option Holder under the terms of their office or employment with the Company (or any
Group Company or former Group Company) shall not be affected by being an Option Holder. 
 11.2 The value of any benefit realised under the Plan by Option
Holders shall not be taken into account in determining any pension or similar entitlements. 
 11.3 Option Holders and Employees shall have no rights to
compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of Options or the Plan where such loss arises (or is claimed to arise), in whole or in part, from: 

11.3.1 termination of office or employment with; or 
 11.3.2
notice to terminate office or employment given by or to, 
 the Company, any Group Company or any former Group Company. This exclusion of liability shall
apply however termination of office or employment, or the giving of notice, is caused and however compensation or damages may be claimed. 
 11.4 Option
Holders and Employees shall have no rights to compensation or damages from the Company, any Group Company or any former Group Company on account of any loss in respect of Options or the Plan where such loss arises (or is claimed to arise), in whole
or in part, from: 
 11.4.1 any company ceasing to be a Group Company; or 

11.4.2 the transfer of any business from a Group Company to any person that is not a Group Company. 

This exclusion of liability shall apply however the change of status of the relevant Group Company, or the transfer of the relevant business, is caused, and
however compensation or damages may be claimed. 
 11.5 An Employee shall not have any right to receive Options, whether or not any have previously been
granted. 
 12. EXIT EVENTS 
 12.1 For the purposes of
this rule 12, a Relevant Event means: 
 12.1.1 a person (the “Controller”) obtaining Control of the Company as a result of: 

12.1.1.1 making a general offer to acquire the whole of the issued share capital of the Company (except for any capital already held by the Controller or any
person connected with the Controller) that is made on a condition such that, if it is satisfied, the person making the offer will have Control of the Company; or 

  
 13 













 12.1.1.2 making a general offer to acquire all the shares in the Company (except for any shares already held
by the Controller or any person connected with the Controller) that are of the same class as the Shares; or 
 12.1.2 the court sanctioning a compromise or
arrangement under section 899 of the Companies Act 2006 that is applicable to or affects: 
 12.1.2.1 all the ordinary share capital of the Company or all
the Shares of the same class as the Shares to which the Option relates; or 
 12.1.2.2 all the Shares, or all the Shares of that same class, which are held
by a class of shareholders identified otherwise than by reference to their employment or directorships or their participation in a Schedule 4 CSOP; or 

12.1.3 shareholders becoming bound by a non-UK reorganisation (as defined by paragraph 35ZA of Schedule 4) that is
applicable to or affects: 
 12.1.3.1 all the ordinary share capital of the Company or all the Shares of the same class as the Shares to which the Option
relates; or 
 12.1.3.2 all the Shares, or all the Shares of that same class, which are held by a class of shareholders identified otherwise than by
reference to their employment or directorships or their participation in a Schedule 4 CSOP; or 
 12.1.4 a person becomes bound or entitled to acquire
Shares under sections 979 to 985 of the Companies Act 2006. 
 12.2 Subject to rule 12.5 and rule 12.12, an Option may be exercised, to the extent Vested on
the date of the Relevant Event: 
 12.2.1 within six months of a Relevant Event occurring under rule 12.1.1, rule 12.1.2, or rule 12.1.3; 

12.2.2 at any time after a Relevant Event occurring under rule 12.1.4, continuing for as long as that person remains so bound or entitled. 

The Board may determine that the Option shall lapse when it ceases to be exercisable under this rule 12.2. 

12.3 If: 
 12.3.1 a Relevant Event specified in rule 12.1.1
occurs; or 
 12.3.2 a change of Control occurs as a result of a Relevant Event specified in rule 12.1.2, rule 12.1.3 or rule 12.1.4; 

and, as a result of the change of Control, Shares will no longer satisfy the requirements of Part 4 of Schedule 4, the Board may permit Option Holders to
exercise Options to the extent Vested at the date of the change of Control during the period of 20 days following the change of Control. Options that are not exercised, will lapse at the expiry of 20 days following the change of Control. 

  
 14 













 12.4 If the Board reasonably expects a Relevant Event to occur, the Board may make arrangements permitting
Vested Options to be exercised for a period of 20 days ending with the Relevant Event. If an Option is exercised under this rule 12.4, it will be treated as having been exercised in accordance with rule 12.2. 

If the Board makes arrangements for the exercise of Options under this rule 12.4: 

12.4.1 if the Option is not exercised in accordance with those arrangements, it will lapse on the date of the Relevant Event; and 

12.4.2 if the Relevant Event does not occur within 20 days of the date of purported exercise, the Option shall be treated as not having been exercised. 

12.5 If, as a result of a Relevant Event, a company has obtained Control of the Company, each Option Holder may, by agreement with that company (the
“Acquiring Company”) within the Rollover Period, release each Option (the “Old Option”) for a replacement option (the “New Option”). A New Option shall: 

12.5.1 be over shares that satisfy the requirements of paragraphs 16 to 18 and paragraph 20 of Schedule 4 in the Acquiring Company (or some other company
falling within paragraph 27(2)(b) of Schedule 4); and 
 12.5.2 be a right to acquire such number of those shares as have, immediately after grant of the
New Option, a total Market Value substantially the same as the total Market Value of the shares subject to the Old Option immediately before its release; and 

12.5.3 have an exercise price per share such that the total price payable on complete exercise of the New Option is substantially the same as the total price
that would have been payable on complete exercise of the Old Option; and 
 12.5.4 so far as practicable, be on terms otherwise identical to the Old Option
immediately before the Old Option’s release. 
 12.6 Any Rollover Period shall have the same duration as the applicable appropriate period defined in
paragraph 26(3) of Schedule 4. 
 12.7 Any New Option granted under rule 12.5 shall be treated as having been acquired at the same time as the relevant Old
Option for all other purposes of the Plan. 
 12.8 The Plan shall be interpreted in relation to any New Options as if references to: 

12.8.1 the “Company” (except for those in the definitions of Constituent Company and Group Company) were references to the Acquiring Company
(or to any other company whose shares are subject to the New Options, as the context may require); and 
 12.8.2 the “Shares” were
references to the shares subject to the New Options. 
 12.9 The Company will remain the scheme organiser of the Plan (as defined in paragraph 2(2) of
Schedule 4) following the release of Options and the grant of New Options under rule 12.5. 

  
 15 













 12.10 The Acquiring Company shall issue (or procure the issue of) an Option Certificate for each New Option.

 12.11 In this rule 12 (other than rule 12.5), a person shall be deemed to have obtained Control of a company if they, and others acting with them, have
obtained Control of it together. 
 12.12 If a Relevant Event takes place in the course of any corporate reconstruction or reorganisation under which the
ultimate beneficial ownership of the business of the Group Companies will remain the same, and the company that obtains Control offers to grant New Options in accordance with rule 12.5, then rule 12.2 shall not apply and all Old Options shall lapse
at the end of the Rollover Period to the extent that they are not released under rule 12.5. 
 12.13 If the shareholders of the Company receive notice of a
resolution for the voluntary winding up of the Company, any Option Holder may exercise an Option to the extent Vested at the date of the resolution at any time in the period before that resolution is passed, conditionally upon the passing of that
resolution, and if the Option Holder does not exercise the Option, it shall lapse when the winding up begins. 
 12.14 If a
Non-Flotation Exit Event occurs and the foregoing provisions of this rule 12 do not apply to Options in connection with that Non-Flotation Exit Event so as to permit the
exercise of Options, any Option Holder may exercise an Option to the extent Vested on the date of the Non-Flotation Exit Event within six months after the date of the
Non-Flotation Exit Event. The Board may determine that Options shall lapse when they cease to be exercisable under this rule 12.14. 

12.15 If the Board reasonably expects a Non-Flotation Exit Event to occur and the foregoing provisions of this rule 12
do not apply to Options in connection with that Non-Flotation Exit Event, the Board may make arrangements permitting Vested Options to be exercised for a period of 20 days ending with the Non-Flotation Exit Event and: 
 12.15.1 if the Option is not exercised in accordance with those arrangements, it will
lapse on the date of the Non-Flotation Exit Event; and 
 12.15.2 if the
Non-Flotation Exit Event does not occur within 20 days of the date of purported exercise, the Option shall be treated as not having been exercised. 

12.16 If a Flotation occurs, any Option Holder may exercise an Option to the extent Vested on and from the date of such Flotation save that the Company shall
have the right not to issue and allot Shares upon the exercise of such Option unless the Option Holder has first agreed with the Company (in such form as the Board shall determine) that the Option Holder shall not sell or otherwise dispose of the
Shares acquired upon the exercise of such Option within such period or periods (not extending beyond the first anniversary of the date of Flotation) as the Board may specify in a notice in writing to the Option Holder. 

13. VARIATION OF SHARE CAPITAL 
 13.1 If there is any
variation of the share capital of the Company (whether that variation is a capitalisation issue (other than a scrip dividend), rights issue, consolidation, subdivision or reduction of capital or otherwise) that affects (or may affect) the value of
Options to Option Holders, the Board may adjust the number and description of Shares subject to each Option and/or the Exercise Price of each Option in a manner that the Board, in its reasonable opinion, considers to be fair and appropriate.
However: 

  
 16 













 13.1.1 adjustments to the Exercise Price may only be made in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 22
of Schedule 4; 
 13.1.2 any adjustment to the number of Shares may be made only in accordance with either paragraph 22 of Schedule 4 or a mechanism
notified to the Option Holder at grant; 
 13.1.3 the total market value of the Shares subject to the Option is, immediately after the variation of share
capital, substantially the same as immediately before the variation of share capital; 
 13.1.4 the total amount payable on exercise of an Option
immediately after the variation of Share Capital must be substantially the same as immediately before the variation of share capital; 
 13.1.5 the Exercise
Price for a Share to be newly issued on the exercise of any Option shall not be reduced below its nominal value (unless the Board resolves to capitalise, from reserves, an amount equal to the amount by which the total nominal value of the relevant
Shares exceeds the total adjusted Exercise Price, and to apply such amount to pay up the relevant Shares in full).
