The LTIP Award was granted on 10 September 2019 subject to performance conditions being met relating to profit and relative total shareholder return ("TSR").  The Company's remuneration committee assessed the performance conditions and determined that 680,000 awards should be granted pursuant to the LTIP Award, and consequently, Nat Rothschild has exercised 680,000 LTIP Awards over Ordinary Shares.
