Sliding scale targets apply.

The performance vesting of up to the other 50%of the award (the "EPS Part") will be dependent on the Company's adjusted earnings per share for the financial year ending 31 January 2027. Sliding scale targets apply.

In respect of each of the above measures, an environmental, social and governance ("ESG") related underpin measure also applies, with a commitment on reducing the level of the Company's Scope 1 emissions over the three-year period following the grant of the award.

A two-year post vesting holding period (net of sale for tax liability) applies to the award granted to Mitesh Dhanak only.
