 The prices per Share used on the grant of the above awards 
  were Deferred Awards(1) GBP2.3249, Deferred Awards(2) GBP2.8249, 
  Deferred Awards(3) GBP2.5463 and RSP GBP2.2055 . The prices 
  are discounted to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents 
  during the vesting period. 
 

A pre-vest performance assessment will take place for the RSP at the end of three years. Subject to this, RSP will be eligible to vest between 2026 and 2030, Deferred Awards are eligible to vest between 2023 and 2030.

Malus provisions will apply to each award up until vesting and clawback provisions will apply for a period of seven years from the date of grant. Such period can be extended to ten years in certain circumstances. Vested Shares retained after payment of associated tax liabilities will be subject to a twelve-month retention period.
