In the case of Nick Wilkinson, Karen Witts and Luisa Wright, the options may be exercised on or after 21 November 2026, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions over the three financial periods commencing on 2 July 2023. These performance conditions are detailed in the Company's FY23 Annual Report. In the case of James Cooper, the options may be exercised on or after 21 November 2025, subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions.

On exercise, Nick Wilkinson and Karen Witts have each committed to retain (after sale to cover tax and national insurance liability on exercise), at least two thirds of these for the duration of employment.

In line with its 2023 Policy, the Remuneration Committee can apply malus or clawback to the award and has discretion to vary formulaic outturns where this does not reflect underlying performance or is inappropriate in the context of unexpected or unforeseen circumstances.
