No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards which are structured as nil cost options.
The vesting of an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company. Fifty percent of the awards will vest on 31 December 2023 and the remaining fifty percent on 31 December 2024 and will normally remain exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant, provided the individual remains an employee or officer of the Company.
