The award is subject to a dividend enhancement mechanism by which further shares are notionally added to the award on each intervening dividend payment date. As part of the terms of Tim Weller's recruitment, the company established a matched share incentive scheme for him as sole participant by which the company undertook to match an investment of 39,000 shares made by Mr Weller himself upon his appointment (on 1 July 2006) provided he remains with the group up to and beyond the implementation of the next regulatory reviews. The award is subject to a dividend enhancement mechanism by which further shares are notionally added to the award on each intervening dividend payment date. In order to facilitate the retention of Charlie Cornish up to and beyond the next regulatory reviews the company established a special long-term incentive scheme for him as sole participant. Under the scheme an award equal to his annual salary was granted to him in the form of an option over 47,027 shares on 16 March 2007. The award is subject to performance conditions and is also subject to a dividend enhancement mechanism by which further shares are notionally added to the award on each intervening dividend payment date. The dividend shares shown below have been notionally added to and form part of the awards. In respect of the final dividend of 11.17 pence per share paid on 3 February 2010, the number of additional shares granted has been calculated using the closing share price on 3 February 2010 of 531pence per share.

Accordingly the dividend shares shown below have been notionally added to and form part of the award. In respect of the final dividend of 11.17 pence per share paid on 3 February 2010, the number of additional shares awarded has been calculated using the closing share price on 3 February 2010 of 531 pence per share. Under the terms of the scheme, awards will (which are structured as options to acquire shares in the company with a zero exercise price) be satisfied by using shares purchased in the market or by payment of a cash amount equal to the market value, on the date of exercise, of the shares (including dividend equivalent shares) held. Newly issued or treasury shares cannot be used to satisfy awards under this plan. No directors of the company can participate in the scheme. The awards will normally become capable of exercise after the end of the vesting period and must be exercised within 90 days thereafter. The ability to exercise an award is not subject to satisfying a performance target.
