Name of Director / PDMR	Total number of Shares Awarded	Type of Award
Leo Quinn	609,756	Conditional award
Philip Harrison	274,104	Conditional award

The Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and are then subject to a further two-year holding period. No consideration is payable by Grantees on either the grant or vesting of the Awards.

The performance condition applying to one third of the Awards (the "TSR Part") will measure the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance over a three-year period relative to the TSR performance over the same period of a comparator group of companies, comprising the constituents of the FTSE 51-200 (excluding investment trusts) as at the start of the measurement period (the "Comparator Group"). The measurement period for the Awards shall comprise three consecutive financial years of the Company, starting with the 2020 financial year.

No portion of the TSR Part will vest unless the Company's TSR performance ranks at least equal to median TSR performance of the Comparator Group, at which point 25% of the TSR Part will vest, rising on a straight-line basis to 100% vesting for the Company's TSR performance ranking at upper quartile or better relative to the TSR performance of the Comparator Group.

The performance condition applying to a separate one third of the Awards (the "Cash Part") will measure improvement in the Company's Operating Cash Flow ("OCF") from continuing operations over a measurement period starting with the 2020 financial year.

No portion of the Cash Part will vest unless the Company's OCF for the 2022 financial year is greater than 135m. Were OCF for 2022 to be greater than 135m but not more than 169m, 25% to 50% of the Cash Part would vest on a straight-line basis. Were OCF for 2022 to be 169m to 203m or more, between 50% of and 100% of the Cash Part would vest on a straight-line basis.

The performance condition applying to a separate one third of the Awards (the "EPS Part") will measure the Company's earnings per share performance over a measurement period starting with the 2020 financial year.

No portion of the EPS Part will vest unless the Company's EPS for the 2022 financial year is 22p, at which point 25% of the EPS Part will vest, rising on a straight-line basis to 100% vesting for the Company's EPS for 2022 being 33p or more.
