7. Any additional information:

It is anticipated that future exercises will be settled using both shares held
in the Employee Share Trust and new issue shares.

Under the SOP, the vesting of options is subject to a performance requirement
based on average absolute total shareholder return growth over a three-year
vesting period (the option starting to vest above 10% per annum i.e. 0% at 10%,
with 100% of the option vesting for 22% per annum). In addition, the Company's
Earning per Share must not reduce over the three-year vesting period for
options to be capable of vesting.

SOP - The exercise price and size of award is calculated with reference to the
average share price for the 3 days immediately prior to the date of grant.

EBP - The number of EBP shares awarded was calculated using the 30-day average
share price for the period ending on the 31 March 2014 of £1.28. The EBP award
represents the deferral element of the bonus awarded in respect of the
financial year ended 31 March 2014.
