Awards under the long term performance share plan

Subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of performance targets as set out in the Company's Annual Report, the awards will vest three years from date of grant, and thereafter will be subject to an additional two year holding period.  All vested shares must be retained, net of tax, until the executive Director or PDMR has accumulated a shareholding in the Company equivalent to two times base salary as part of the minimum shareholding requirements.

The figures above reflect the maximum number of ordinary shares which could vest. The actual number which will vest will depend on the extent to which the performance targets are satisfied over the performance period.  No consideration was paid for any of the awards and no consideration is due on vesting.
