Under the terms of the PPSP one half of each new award will be subject to a
total shareholder return ('TSR') performance condition and the other half to an
earnings per share ('EPS') performance condition. In respect of both of the
conditions the Company's performance will be compared to that of a group of
companies drawn from the Banks and Speciality and Other Finance sectors. For the
EPS measure, performance will be measured over the single three year period
commencing 1 October 2006. For the TSR measure, performance will be measured
over the single three year period commencing 1 January 2007. For both
performance measures 35% of the award will vest for median performance, rising
to 100% for performance on or above the upper quartile.
