In compliance with DTR 4.1.12R, the 2020 Annual Report contains a Directors' responsibilities statement. This is reproduced below in line with DTR 6.3.5R. The statement relates to, and is extracted from the 2020 Annual Report, not the extracted information presented in this announcement or the

2020 Full Year Results announcement released on 3 March 2021.

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Directors have elected to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). The Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and applicable law.

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

·    adopt the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to do so;

·    select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently from year to year;

·    make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

·   state whether IFRS as adopted by the EU and IFRS as issued by the IASB have been followed for the Group financial statements and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed for the Company financial statements.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's and the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the Group and the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements and the Directors' Remuneration Report comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website.

Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Declaration

Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed on pages 78 to 79 of the Annual Report, confirm to the best of their knowledge, that:

·   the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and applicable law, and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Group;

·   the Company financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and applicable law), give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company;

·   the Strategic Report and Directors' Report include a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces; and

·    as at the date of this Report, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware. Each Director has taken all the steps he or she should have taken as a Director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

The Board confirms that the Annual Report and financial statements taken as a whole are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the strategy, position and performance and business model of the Group.
