The recipients are required to hold the Awards for a period of two years following vesting.
Details of the impact of the Acquisition on all AMS Share Plans (including the Awards) and any associated proposals are summarised in the Co-operation Agreement between the Company and Bidco, and will be set out in the Scheme Document, and in separate letters to be sent to participants in all AMS Share Plans.
