The maximum number of Whitbread PLC 76 122/153p Ordinary Shares, which each executive could potentially receive in respect of this performance period is as follows:

Ratnesh Verma                                                               3,682

The vesting of the awards will be based on Whitbread's EPS growth above RPI per annum of 4% to 10% on a sliding scale with a one-third multiplier based on ROCE in 2018/19 of 12% to 18%.  The ROCE measure also acts as a hurdle.

In accordance with the rules of the Plan, the awards were based on a share price of £38.216, being the average of the mid-market closing price of the Company's shares for the five dealing days preceding 1 March 2016.

The awards will be subject to a two-year holding period post vesting.

*        The awards made under the Directors' Incentive Scheme are not subject to any performance conditions. Under normal circumstances, the awards will vest in full subject to the executive remaining an employee of Whitbread until the third anniversary of the Award Date, as defined in the rules of the scheme.
