To be eligible to receive the Matching Award, directors and senior executives must continue to hold their Invested Shares and remain in employment for a period of three years from the date of grant of the Matching Award.  The actual number of Shares transferred to a director or senior executive on the vesting of the Matching Award will depend on the extent to which two corporate performance conditions are satisfied over the three-year vesting period.  Full details of the LTIP, including a description of the performance conditions, are provided in the report on directors' remuneration in the London Stock Exchange Group plc 2013 Annual Report.
