The awards will ordinarily vest and become exercisable as from 31 July 2027, subject to the grantee’s continued service and to the extent to which the performance conditions are met.

Once exercisable, an award shall ordinarily remain exercisable until the eve of the tenth anniversary of the grant date of the award. No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards and consideration of £0.05 per share is due on the exercise of the awards. The awards were made based on a share price of £24.35.
