*to the extent permitted by the relevant tax legislation, each participant has been granted part of their Restricted Share Award as a tax qualifying CSOP Option.

 

The value of the shares subject to each PSP Award is 100% of the basic salary of each director, calculated using the average price of the shares over the three business days immediately prior to the end of the Company's FY19 financial year.

 

The Remuneration Committee has determined that in the vesting of the PSP Awards should be conditional upon the performance conditions set out below, to be satisfied over a period of 3 years (the "Performance Period") beginning with the start of the Company's 2020 Financial Year on 30 June 2019:

 

·     Vesting of 50% of the award will normally be based upon the amount of the adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") delivered in the final Financial Year of the Performance Period determined on a straight-line basis between EPS vesting targets set by the Remuneration Committee, subject to a Remuneration Committee discretion to adjust vesting levels and/or substitute such condition with EBITDA target ranges if it considers that such condition is no longer a fair and appropriate measure of the Company's financial performance during the Performance Period, taking into account factors such as the Company's EBITDA performance relative to the wider market.

 

·     Vesting of 50% of the award will be based upon Relative Total Shareholder Return against the FTSE Small Cap (excluding investment trusts) ("TSR") over the Performance Period.

 

·     The PSP Awards are subject to a general performance underpin, which will be assessed on a number of factors including ROCE performance, at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

·     The PSP Awards are also subject to a 2 year post vesting holding period during which they may not be exercised.

 

In line with proposals set out in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report for the FY19 financial year, this year the Company has granted additional share awards in the form of Restricted Stock Awards in recognition of the contribution made by and the importance of retaining and motivating the Executive Directors and the wider management team. The Restricted Stock Awards (including the CSOP Option element) will vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of grant subject to continued employment. The value of shares subject to each Restricted Share Award (including the CSOP Option element) is 100% of the basic salary of each director, calculated using the closing price of the shares on the day prior to grant.

 

Mr Duffy and Mr Boyd hold, in addition to the LTIP awards set out above, 2,546,957 and 1,735,605 options over Ordinary Shares respectively.

 

Immediately following these awards the Company's issued share capital was 130,383,361 Ordinary Shares and there were outstanding awards (vested and unvested) under the previous and new LTIP over 10,576,834 Ordinary Shares (1,139,477 of which have been granted as linked CSOP options).
