Vesting of Awards under the Company's 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2009 LTIP")

Premier announces that the Remuneration Committee of the Company has approved the vesting of Equity Pool Awards and Performance Share Awards (the "Awards") granted on 1 January 2016 pursuant to the Company's 2009 LTIP.

The performance criteria for the Awards were based on the growth in the Company's market capitalization and total shareholder return relative to a comparator group of companies over the performance period. 50% of the shares vesting from the Awards are subject to a mandatory deferral period of three years and are not eligible for a Matching Share Award.

Details of these Awards and their performance conditions are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report within the 2016 Annual Report and Financial Statements. Information on the calculation of final vesting levels for the Awards, in accordance with the performance conditions, will be set out in the Company's 2018 Annual Report and Financial Statements.

The tax liabilities arising on the release of the first 50% of the Awards were settled by withholding a sufficient number of shares to cover these liabilities. The net number of shares were then released to participants as indicated below. The final column in this table shows the second 50% of the Awards that have been granted as Deferred Awards subject to a three-year deferral period.
