*        Vesting subject to continuous employment.  Vested shares will be subject to a holding period of six months from the vesting date.

**      Vesting subject to the achievement of the performance conditions which apply to the Royal Bank of Scotland plc long-term incentive award granted in 2017 and continuous employment.  Vested shares will be subject to a holding period of six months from the vesting date.

***    Vesting subject to the achievement of the Company's Earnings Per Share and Free Cash Flow performance targets over the performance period, as outlined in the Directors' Remuneration Report of the Tesco PLC Annual Report and Financial Statements 2018, and continuous employment.  Vested shares will be subject to a holding period of two years from the vesting date.

For any dividends paid in the period between grant and vesting, the number of shares awarded will be increased to reflect the dividends that would have accrued had they been reinvested in shares.

With the exception of the shares vesting on 13 August 2021, the shares have been awarded in respect of the buy-out of share awards and bonus payments that Gerry forfeited on leaving his previous employment.  The Remuneration Committee believes that these awards fairly reflect the share awards and bonus payments Gerry forfeited in terms of value and timescale of vesting.
