The targets that will apply to the 2026 LTIP awards for the 2026-2028 performance period are set out below.

Vesting between achievement of threshold and maximum performance is on a straight-line basis. In addition to the above performance conditions, before determining the final vesting level, the Remuneration Committee will continue to take a broader assessment of performance in the round and has an overriding discretion to adjust vesting outcomes where, acting fairly and reasonably, it considers the formulaic outcome to be inappropriate.
There is a further two-year holding period commencing after the end of the performance period for Kris Licht and Shannon Eisenhardt.
Performance share options will be exercisable at £55.24 per share. No consideration was paid for the grant of these awards.
The following notifications are made in accordance with DTR 3.1.2-A, incorporating article 19(1) of the Market Abuse Regulation.
