The awards have been made over Ordinary Shares representing 100% of base salary at full vesting, based on the NewRiver share price of GBP2.9790 pence using an average closing price over the previous five dealing days. Each award is subject to two performance conditions which will be tested over a three year period. The performance conditions are outlined in further detail below.

50% of each award will be based on the Company's total shareholder return (TSR) compared to that of the FTSE All Share index (the TSR Benchmark) in accordance with the table below.

 
                TSR Award   Performance Condition 
                 to Vest

    Hurdle                        Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Lower Hurdle      25%       Company's TSR = TSR 
                                  Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Intermediate      75%      Company's TSR = 1.25 
    Hurdle                     x TSR Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Upper Hurdle     100%       Company's TSR = 1.5 
                               x TSR Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ----------------------

50% of each award will be based on the Company's Total Accounting Return (TAR) compared to those UK REITs that report their NAV on an EPRA basis as at the date of award (the TAR Benchmark), in accordance with the table below. TAR is defined as the annualised return over the performance period based on the change in EPRA NAV per share and the level of dividends paid per share.

 
                TAR Award   Performance Condition 
                 to Vest 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Below Lower       0%        Company's TAR < TAR 
    Hurdle                        Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Lower Hurdle      25%       Company's TAR = TAR 
                                  Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Intermediate      75%      Company's TAR = 1.25 
    Hurdle                     x TAR Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ---------------------- 
 Upper Hurdle     100%       Company's TAR = 1.5 
                               x TAR Benchmark 
-------------  ----------  ----------------------

For both performance conditions, where the Company's performance is between the Lower Hurdle and the Intermediate Hurdle or the Intermediate Hurdle and the Upper Hurdle, the percentage of the award which vests will be calculated on a straight line basis based on the extent to which the performance of the Company is between the relevant hurdle performance conditions.

The performance conditions of the awards will be tested after three years from the date of award at which time the awards will be capable of vesting to the extent the performance conditions have been met.
