The Grants are subject to the achievement of performance conditions as specified by the Remuneration Committee and are subject to claw back provisions in certain circumstances.

Between these target levels, share options will vest on a pro-rata basis and shares will vest, subject to the achievement of performance conditions, from 1 May 2017.

The adjusted EPS for the base year 2013 has been calculated as 25.4p using a normalised tax charge, as defined by the Remuneration Committee,  and excluding the net effect of pension fund interest receipts.
