is retained for a set period of time).*

* Free Float changes resulting from the expiry of a lock-in or incentive will be implemented at the next
quarterly review subject to the lock-in or incentive expiry date occurring on or prior to the share and float
change information cut-off date, If the previously locked-in shares are sold by way of a corporate event
(such as a secondary offering),any change to the free float will be applied in accordance with Rule 6.6.1.

The Ground Rules have also been updated to include new ICB sector names and codes - FTSE indexes will
migrate to the new ICB classification system in September 2020.
