In addition, on 30 March 2010, Patrick Regan was granted a Bonus Replacement Deferred Share Award (BRDSA) under the CFO Recruitment Share Awards Plan to compensate him for the loss of bonus which would have been paid to him by his previous employer, as previously disclosed in the Aviva 2010 Annual Report and Accounts.

· In accordance with the rules of these Plans, and following performance testing of the LTIP award, the awards have vested and the number of shares specified below were released, for no consideration, on 2 April 2013.

· Executive Directors and PDMRs are required to attain a minimum shareholding in Aviva (150% of base salary for Executive Directors and 50% of base salary for PDMRs). Mr Regan, Mr Lister and Mrs Cooper have elected to retain all of the shares being released to them.
