This notification sets out details of the vesting and settlement of awards granted to the executive directors on 15 June 2018 in respect of the deferred element of the Company's 2017 short-term incentive ("STI"). These awards, denominated in shares, vested on 15 June 2020 and will be settled in cash on 26 June 2020 based on the middle-market quotation of a share on 15 June 2020, being £2.68 per share. The amount settled included the value of dividends attributable to the vested shares during the period between the date of grant and the date of vesting, being a total of 12.6 pence per share.

Notes:

¹ As Group Chief Financial Officer, Mr Myburgh is required to build and maintain a minimum holding of shares equivalent to a value of 200% of his annual base compensation.
