¹ Dave Backer's DBP award were granted under the 2015 LTIP scheme as opposed to the 2015 Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) due to US tax considerations and California regulatory considerations.

² Dr. Madduri Rao's RSU joining options (see below) are included in this figure.

Under the terms of the DBP plan, the DBP awards will become exercisable as to one third of the shares subject to each award on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

In line with best practice and current investor guidance the quantum of the 2022 LTIP to Stuart Paynter was scaled back from 175% of salary to 155% of salary. The quantum of 2022 LTIP granted to other members of SET was scaled back in line with Stuart Paynter's scale back percentage.

John Dawson did not received an award under the LTIP scheme for 2022.

The LTIP awards are subject to performance conditions. As set out in the 2021 Directors' Remuneration Report, the performance condition is based on TSR (40% of the award, assessed over the three years from grant); revenue growth (40% of the award, assessed over financial years 2022, 2023 and 2024) and strategic milestones (20% of the award). Details of the measures are included in the 2021 Directors' Remuneration Report, other than as regards the strategic milestones, which are commercially sensitive and will be disclosed in due course.

The LTIP awards granted Stuart Paynter will "vest" following the assessment of the performance condition, but will only be "released" so that they can be exercised following the end of a further two year holding period. The 2022 awards granted to other participants will vest and be released following the assessment of the performance condition.

RSU awards

³ In addition, on 29 April 2022 a nil-cost share option over 9,423 shares of 50 pence each in the Company was also granted under the LTIP scheme to Alexander Lewis, Chief of Staff.

As joining shares, a nil-cost share option over 31,818 shares of 50 pence each in the Company was also granted under the LTIP scheme to Dr Madduri Rao.

The RSU awards are not subject to performance conditions and will become exercisable from the third anniversary of the grant date.
