These shares will be held as Treasury shares and used to satisfy the vesting of shares to senior non-Board executives under the rules of the Company's 2014 Executive Share Option Scheme.
Following the purchase, the Company holds as Treasury shares 35,000 ordinary shares, representing 0.04% of the total ordinary share capital of the Company.
