-  Quality Assurance	7.5%	0.8	0.5

The EPS and ROCE performance conditions will be measured against the financial performance of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, while the TSR, FCF and Balanced Scorecard performance conditions will be measured based on data for the three year performance period ended 31 December 2024.
