The award will ordinarily vest and become exercisable as from 31 July 2026, subject to the grantee’s continued service and to the extent to which the performance conditions are met. Dividend equivalents will also be awarded, which will accrue during the performance period and for two years after the award vests. Once exercisable, an award shall ordinarily remain exercisable until the eve of the tenth anniversary of the grant date of the award. No consideration was paid for the grant of the award and consideration of £0.05 per share is due on the exercise of the award. The award was made based on a share price of £21.80.
