Strategic objective - Order Book

Book-to-bill ratio of 100% (target, 50% vesting) to 105% (maximum, 100% vesting) measured on a cumulative basis over the three-year performance period ending 31 December 2022.

Strategic objective - Employee Engagement

7.50%

For  the year ending 31 December 2022, achieve an engagement score of 67 points (target, 50% vesting) to 72 points (maximum, 100% vesting) in our annual employee engagement survey.

 

The Remuneration Committee retains discretion to change performance measures and targets, and the weightings attached to performance measures part-way through the performance period if there is a significant event, such as a major transaction.

 

For Executive Directors, any shares that vest will be subject to a post-vesting holding requirement that takes the total term of the award to a minimum of five years. Post-vesting clawback also applies to the Executive Directors awards. Awards to all participants are subject to pre-vesting malus.
