The number of Shares and options shown is the maximum available if the stretching performance conditions for the three-year performance period ending on 31 December 2022 are satisfied in full.

As we set out in the Company's 2019 Annual Report, at the time of publication of the report the performance conditions for the 2020 LTIP award were still under review by the Remuneration Committee, following the announcement of the findings of the CEO's strategic review in late February. The Committee wanted to ensure that the 2020-2022 LTIP performance measures and targets aligned with the updated strategic priorities.

Following the strategic announcement, the Remuneration Committee determined the appropriate performance measures and targets and carried out a comprehensive consultation with shareholders on the proposals. The Committee duly considered the feedback from shareholders before finalising the performance conditions.

The performance conditions that will apply to the 2020 LTIP awards for the 2020-2022 performance period are set out below. In line with the Directors' Remuneration Policy, for Executive Directors there is a further two-year holding period after the end of the performance period.

Vesting between achievement of threshold and maximum performance is on a straight-line basis. In addition to the above performance conditions, the Remuneration Committee has an overriding discretion to adjust vesting outcomes where, acting fairly and reasonably, it considers the formulaic outcome to be inappropriate.

Options will be exercisable at GBP65.20 per share. No consideration was paid for the grant of these awards.
