Deferred Share Award Plan
Under the rules of the deferred share award scheme (`the scheme') awards are
subject to uplift for notional dividends made or paid during the vesting
period. Accordingly the dividend shares shown below have been notionally added
to and form part of the award. In respect of the interim dividend of 11.44
pence per share paid on 1 February 2013, the number of additional shares
awarded has been calculated using the closing share price on 1 February 2013 of
731.5 pence per share. Under the terms of the scheme, awards will (which are
structured as options to acquire shares in the company with a zero exercise
price) be satisfied by using shares purchased in the market or by payment of a
cash amount equal to the market value, on the date of exercise, of the shares
(including dividend equivalent shares) held. Newly issued or treasury shares
cannot be used to satisfy awards under this plan. No directors of the company
can participate in the scheme. The awards will normally become capable of
exercise after the end of the vesting period and must be exercised within 90
days thereafter. The ability to exercise an award is not subject to satisfying
a performance target.
