⁴ Both the LTIP and MSP awards normally vest on the third anniversary of grant subject to the Company's achievement of certain Total Shareholder Return and Total Property Return performance conditions (which applies to each 50% of the award) for the three-year financial period ending 31 March 2019, as more particularly set out in the Director's Remuneration Report of the Company's 2016 Annual Report. Vested awards are satisfied through the transfer of market purchased Shares from the Company's Jersey-based Employee Benefit Trust.

⁵ The MSP awards have been granted on a 2:1 matching basis by the Company. Therefore, the individual (directly or through their connected persons) is required to acquire within 30 days of grant, and then hold throughout the three-year term, Shares equal in value to 50% (net) of the MSP award in order to qualify for the full MSP award. The Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the MSP.

As a result of and including the above transactions, the outstanding aggregate interest in Shares held by each individual is as follows:

⁸ These interests are in excess of the required holding levels (250% x salary for the Chief Executive and 200% x salary for the Chief Financial Officer) pursuant to the Company's share ownership guidelines.
