As a result of restricted dealing periods during the year, the Company was unable to fulfil the commitment to grant awards to the Executive Directors, as disclosed in the Directors' Remuneration Report for the 2017/18 financial year.
As a result in several cases, two awards have been granted to employees, covering the 2017/18 and 2018/19 financial years (as noted above).
The awards represent 1p nominal value share options which, to the extent that the awards vest, provide for Shares to be delivered to the individuals for 1p consideration per Share.
In normal circumstances, the awards will not vest (and the shares will not be transferred to the individuals) before the following times:
o 50% of the vesting shares become available on the third anniversary of the award date;
o 25% of the vesting shares become available on the fourth anniversary of the award date; and
o 25% of the vesting shares become available on the fifth anniversary of the award date.
The percentage of the shares that ultimately do vest (and are delivered to the individuals) is dependent on the satisfaction of performance criteria measured over a three-year performance period (further details of which are set out on in the Company's 2017/18 Annual Report).
