Under the terms of each LTIP the award comprises a conditional award of shares on the following terms:

 
      --   the award will vest following the third anniversary of the 
            date of grant subject to performance targets and continued 
            employment in the NEXT Group; 
      --   a variable percentage of the maximum number of shares above 
            can vest, depending on the relative Total Shareholder Return 
            of NEXT over a three year period against a comparator group; 
      --   for relative performance against the comparator group the 
            percentage vesting will be: 
 
 
 Relative performance    Percentage vesting 
----------------------  ------------------- 
 Below median                            0% 
 Median                                 20% 
 Upper quintile                        100% 
 
 
      --   the Remuneration Committee has discretion to override and 
            reduce formulaic outcomes under the LTIP awards should this 
            be considered appropriate in the circumstances; 
      --   before any of the awards vest, the Committee must have regard 
            to the underlying financial performance of the Company; 
      --   to the extent that the performance condition is not met, 
            the award will lapse completely; 
      --   to the extent that awards vest, dividend equivalents will 
            be accrued; and 
      --   any vesting of these awards granted to executive directors 
            (including dividend equivalents) will be settled in shares 
            and, after payment of tax, the net shares received should 
            be retained for a period of two further years, and for operational 
            directors for a period of six further months. 
 

LTIP awards are made twice a year. The maximum number of shares shown above is 112.5% of each executive director's (60% of operational director's) base salary at the date of grant, divided by NEXT's average share price over the three months prior to the start of the performance period.

The following notification made under article 19.1 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation ("MAR") related to awards granted to executive directors on 22 September 2023 under the LTIP. This announcement is made in accordance with Article 19.3 of MAR.
