The above quantum of awards are as detailed in the 2023 Directors' Remuneration Report and are based on award multiples set at 200% and 175% of salary both for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer respectively.

 

In addition, the Remuneration Committee (Committee) will retain discretion to reduce the number of shares on vesting should it be considered appropriate to do so (e.g. in the event that there was perceived windfall gain).

 

Subject to the terms of the LTIP plan rules, the above awards will vest and become exercisable from the third anniversary of the grant of the awards subject to continued service and to the extent to which the relevant performance conditions (see below) are satisfied over the three financial years ending 31 December 2026. Shares that vest (post selling any shares required to meet associated tax liabilities) are also subject to a two-year holding requirement.

Vesting based on the above performance conditions will be subject to a return on capital employed underpin. This will require the Committee to consider the vesting result determined based on the application of the EPS, TSR, operating cash conversion and operating profit margin performance conditions in light of the return on capital employed achieved during the three year period ending 31 December 2026 relative to the Board's internal plans over the period. If the Committee does not consider the vesting result appropriate in light of the return, the underpin enables vesting to be reduced to a more appropriate level.
