The 2014 PSA award which vested in 2019 is subject to two performance conditions. Two thirds of the award is subject to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance and the remaining third to an earnings based measure of Relative EBIT Margin. The TSR part of the award vested on 28 February 2019 and the remaining third of the 2014 PSA award vested on 31 May 2019.
