                  ---------------------  ------------------  ---------  ------------- 
 

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. The performance conditions require that the Company's adjusted (pre-exceptional items and adjusted for pension interest charges and credits) earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") for the financial year ending 31 December 2023 reaches the following figures for each level of vesting:

 
   Adjusted EPS     % of Grant 
  for year ending    that Vests 
    31 December 
       2023 
      81.5p             25% 
                   ------------ 
      86.3p             40% 
                   ------------ 
      90.4p            100% 
                   ------------ 
 

Between these target levels, share options will vest on a straight line basis and shares will vest, subject to the achievement of these performance conditions, from 11 June 2024.

The Grant values represent 100 per cent of current base annual salary for each participant.

The target levels of EPS have been set to require growth from the levels of profit before tax achieved in 2019 before the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's performance and also reflect proposed changes in the rate of UK Corporation Tax in 2023.
