SENS-AI conclusion

Chief Executive Tadeu Marroco acquired 364 shares worth approximately £16,358 through a dividend equivalent reinvestment plan. This is a routine, non-discretionary compliance filing related to the Deferred Share Bonus Scheme and occurred outside a trading venue. Given the mechanical nature and immaterial volume, this event offers no strategic signal for the broader market.
