The awards take the form of NIL cost options, being an option under the performance share plan, with a nil exercise price (an LTIP award), together with a market price option under the approved section at an exercise price of 151.5p per share, in each case to acquire shares in the future, subject to the performance conditions being achieved.
Subject to the rules of the LTIP including the Approved Section and the satisfaction of the performance conditions below, the earliest vesting date of the award is normally 18 April 2016.
The performance condition relates to the three year average ROCE of the Group and the three year cumulative underlying EPS of the Group as set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2012.
1Share options were granted under the SIG plc 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan Approved Section ("Approved Section") on similar terms to the LTIP Awards. At the time of exercise, to the extent that there is a gain on the options granted under the Approved Section, LTIP Awards will be forfeited to the same value.
