                       Short Term Deferred Incentive Plan

Under the terms of the Company's Short Term Deferred Incentive Plan ('the
Plan'), the Directors have been awarded on 5 December 2005 annual bonuses in
respect of the year to 1 October 2005 deferred into ordinary shares of the
Company (the 'Bonus Shares').

At the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, 100% of the annual bonus for
Mike Bramley and Tony Hughes has been deferred into shares; Tim Clarke and Karim
Naffah, having already acquired their mandatory stockholding level, have had 50%
of their bonus deferred into shares.

Under the terms of the Plan matching shares have also been awarded on the basis
of one Matching Share for every one Bonus Share. Vesting of these Matching
Shares is conditional upon the satisfaction of a three year performance
condition.
