The awards have been made to the Group's Executive Directors and other PDMRs as follows:

The number of Ordinary Shares stated is the maximum number that could be issued to each Executive Director or PDMR upon full satisfaction of the performance conditions attached to the 2016 awards.

The performance conditions are based on the achievement of targets linked to the Group's (i) total return and (ii) relative total shareholder return, as more fully set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report of the Company's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts.

Assuming satisfaction of the conditions in full, the awards will ordinarily vest on or after 25 May 2019 and will remain available to be exercised for a period of seven years. 50% of such vested Ordinary Shares will be subject to a minimum two-year post-vesting holding period.
