No consideration was paid for the grant of the LTIP Awards which are structured as nil cost options. The number of Ordinary Shares granted under each LTIP Award has been calculated using an Ordinary Share price of 837.5 pence per share, being the closing share price on the dealing day immediately before the date of grant.

The normal vesting date of the LTIP Awards will be 12 July 2026, being the third anniversary of the award date. Once vested, the LTIP Award will normally be exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the award date.  The LTIP Awards are subject to a two-year holding period commencing on vesting.

The LTIP Awards incorporate a base award, a relative TSR multiplier, and an absolute and relative TSR performance modifier. The number of Ordinary Shares under the LTIP Award will normally vest after 3 years based on the satisfaction of performance conditions which are measured over a 3 year period.  The base award is subject to the satisfaction of the following performance targets:

i.          65% (sixty-five per cent) based on the Company's adjusted diluted EPRA EPS growth;

ii.       25% (twenty-five per cent) based on strategic/operational measures (growth in Maximum Lettable Area ("MLA")); and

iii.         10% (ten per cent) based on the Company's performance against ESG targets.
