The Plan is designed to contribute to increasing shareholder return and
motivation of senior management over the longer-term. Awards to participants in
the Plan are dependent on the performance by individuals and by the Company.
Participants are granted awards equivalent to their actual short-term bonus. The
value of the award is adjusted by reference to three factors: the company's
relative performance in terms of Total Shareholder Return over a three-year
period; safety (which is externally verified and compared to other energy
companies) and relative performance in terms of customer complaints as recorded
by the independent regulatory body, energywatch.


Each Executive Director/ PDMR will only receive from the Trust the number of
shares to which they are entitled under their award. For Companies Act purposes,
the Executive Directors/ PDMRs are technically regarded as having an interest in
all those shares held by the Trust.
