No consideration was paid for the grant of the RSP Awards which are structured as nil cost options. The number of Shares granted under each RSP award has been determined by reference to the price of a Share on Friday 5 July 2024 (111.4 pence per Share).
The normal vesting date of the RSP Awards will be 8 July 2027, being the third anniversary of the award date. Once vested, the RSP Awards will normally be exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the award date. The RSP Awards are subject to a two-year holding period commencing on vesting.
The RSP Awards will ordinarily vest after three years subject to the grantee's continued service and a discretionary underpin that allows the Remuneration Committee to make adjustments to the level of vesting if the Committee believes due to business performance, individual performance or wider Company considerations that the vesting should be adjusted. This will include consideration of all relevant factors, including any windfall gains.
