The 2019 LTIA are subject to a performance condition with an underpin target based on growth in basic underlying adjusted earnings per share.

The performance period for the 2019 LTIA is for the three financial years measured from 1 July 2019, with a further two-year holding period ending on 30 June 2024.
The number of shares was calculated using a market price of 253.08p per share, being the three-day volume weighted average price for the period 7 November 2019 to 11 November 2019.
