The Company operates a long term incentive plan (approved by shareholders on 19 May 2011) which comprises a Performance Share Plan and an HMRC Approved Employee Share Option Scheme (the "LTIP"). The Executive Directors, along with other senior management, participate in the LTIP.  Two-thirds of the LTIP options granted on 10 April 2013 vested on 10 April 2016 (the balance one-third are subject to an additional holding period of one year and will vest on 10 April 2017). In addition, the remaining one-third of the LTIP options granted on 10 April 2012 vested on 10 April 2016.
