Notes:

1	The Share element of role based pay is payable quarterly and is subject to a holding period with restrictions lifting over five years (20% each year).
2	Tax liabilities on the Shares provided were met in cash and the number of Shares actually received by each individual was reduced by the value required to meet those liabilities.
3	The SVP was introduced in March 2010. SVP awards are granted to participants over Shares which may typically be released over a period of three years in equal annual tranches dependent on future service and the SVP rules. Discretionary dividend equivalent payments may also be made to participants on release of a SVP award. Since 2014, the Shares awarded to Directors and PDMRs have been subject to a six month holding period after release. SVP awards are also made to eligible employees for recruitment purposes under schedule 1 to the SVP (JSVP).
