The Company announced in November 2011 that following

Committee of the Board approved the establishment of a salary
sacrifice, bonus deferral and share matching plan whereby the
executive directors and certain senior managers have the
opportunity to elect to invest up to 20% of annual salary and up to
80% of annual bonus in Ordinary Shares. Subject to continued
employment, the retention of these shares and the meeting of
certain financial performance targets, the investment will be
matched and grossed up for income taxes, to 2.0x the investment
made by matching shares, in the form of options with a nominal
value exercise price, which will, subject to these conditions, vest
after three years.
