Whilst I share your concerns it is worth noting that the incentive has modest effect on the value of shares, due to the potential award of additional shares, and 'only' generates a significant award when the sp rises above 75p. My calculations, based on the current number of shares in issue is:
VLK value Award (total) SP (with award shares) Discount on what is otherwise the sp
£'m £'m %
85.8 0.1 69.9 0.2
98.1 2.0 78.4 2.1
110.3 3.9 86.8 3.5
