PLEASE SEE SAER REPLY FROM SEAN PARSONS.
I HAVE REPLIED AS IMO I STILL THINK IT WAS UNJUSTIFIED AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE RNSs AND HISTORICAL DATA.

Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thank you for your email, for taking the time to write, and for your appreciation of the work we are doing. The continued support of our shareholders has been critical in delivering our world-leading projects. We have been working hard to ensure that we are able to continue delivering these projects and build on our recent successes.
The new management team have had to navigate considerable challenges and make some difficult decisions. The team are focused on a strategy to deliver an exciting future for stakeholders, by maximising the opportunities at our sites in Scotland and Wales. The team's dedication and hard work, alongside their expertise and experience, are critical to our future success, and it is important that we retain the right people over the long-term.
The LTIP/CSOP schemes in place are designed to ensure that management, and indeed all employees, are incentivised to increase shareholders’ value over the mid and longer term, and to be rewarded accordingly. The schemes are designed to reward if the share value increases, to align with the interests of shareholders. If options do vest and are exercised, dilution would be expected to be substantially offset through the share value accretion.
We would note that, as we recently announced, the total option pool is limited to a maximum of 10% of the company’s issued share capital, with just under 9% currently granted.
We believe these schemes will allow us to reward and benefit all stakeholders who are on the journey with us.
Thank you again for your ongoing support.
Sean Parsons”
