Below Threshold (0% vesting) | Threshold (25% vesting) | On-target (50% vesting) | Maximum (100% vesting) |
Ranking of easyJet's TSR (50% of total award) | < median | Median | upper quartile |
Below Threshold (0% vesting) | Threshold (25% vesting) | Maximum (100% vesting) |
Awards vest on a straight-line basis between these points.
The Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) targets are based on average ROCE over the three year performance period (being three years from 1 October 2015).
The Total Shareholder Return (TSR) targets are based on relative TSR compared to companies ranked FTSE 31 to 130 at the start of the performance period, where the average share price is calculated over three months at the start and end of the period. In addition, in order for the TSR-based awards to vest, easyJet must have achieved positive absolute TSR performance over the performance period.
