Group Chief Executive Annual Bonus

On 1 March 2013, the Group announced its decision to award the Group Chief Executive, António Horta-Osório, a deferred annual performance bonus of £1,485,000 under the Group Deferred Bonus Plan. The award is a right to receive 3,012,781 Shares and is subject to the Group's normal performance adjustment policy and to the conditions set out below. The number of shares under award was determined by reference to a share price of 49.29 pence. At Mr Horta-Osório's request, the award will only vest if the Group's share price reaches 73.6 pence for a given period of time, or the UK Government sells at least 33 per cent of its shareholding in the Group at prices above 61 pence, in either case at any time during the five years following grant. The award cannot vest before the third anniversary of grant (even if one of these forfeiture conditions is satisfied earlier) and will be forfeited if neither of the conditions is satisfied before 26 March 2018. The performance adjustment policy will continue to apply after the third anniversary of grant of the award unless and until the conditions are satisfied. If the award vests between the third and fifth anniversaries of grant, Mr Horta-Osório must retain any vested Shares (net of any of his Shares sold on his behalf to meet income tax and National Insurance obligations) until the later of 26 March 2018 or 6 months following the date on which the award vests.
