Chief Operating Officer |
LTIPs based on EPS performance targets applying to three separate tranches, over the next three financial years. |

The LTIP Awards vest on 30 June 2029. The Remuneration Committee has elected to set performance targets in excess of market forecasts to align shareholder interests with those of management. Performance targets should not be interpreted as financial guidance or forecasts by the Company.
Management Share Option Awards
In addition, the Company has awarded options over 311,925 Ordinary Shares under the Management Share Option plan to seven further senior employees of the Company (together the "MSOP Awards"). The MSOP Awards are subject to a 3-year vesting period with no performance conditions attached.
Both the LTIP Awards and MSOP Awards have been granted in the form of options to acquire Ordinary Shares at nominal value.
Ordinary Shares Under Option
Excluding the grant set out above the Group currently has in issue a total of approximately 1.42 million options representing approximately 1.9% of the issued share capital. Of the options currently in issue, approximately 1.0 million are not expected to vest, leaving options equal to less than 0.7% of the issued share capital likely to vest.
Following the grants set out above, options in issue by the Group will represent approximately 5.8% of the current issued share capital. Excluding those options which the Remuneration Committee do not expect to vest, and following the grant set out above, options in issue by the Group will represent approximately 3.9% of the issued share capital with 80% of those subject to performance conditions.
