*First awards under the Incentive Plan were made on 20 July 2007. Awards under the plans will vest subject to the achievement of performance conditions and continued employment. Should awards vest, Incentive Plan awards will deliver shares with an equivalent value to a specified percentage of the total return to shareholders achieved in a performance period to 16 July 2010, the third anniversary of the demerger of International Personal Finance plc from Provident Financial plc. Under the plan, delivery of vested shares is, normally, equally split between the end of the performance period and, subject to continued employment, 12 months following the end of the performance period.
