Executive Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP')
The Company has in place an Executive LTIP. Options over ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") are issued to recipients under the LTIP plan. The options set out above have been granted under the LTIP in the form of nil cost options and are subject to performance conditions which require the growth of Funds under Management ('FuM') over a five year performance period. The performance conditions associated with the options are set out below:
(1) 50% vesting on reaching a minimum of FuM of US$750m; and
(2) 100% vesting on reaching FuM of US$1bn.
The vesting date of options granted is the later of:
(1) the third anniversary of the Grant Date;
(2) the satisfaction of the Performance Condition; or
(3) the date of any adjustment under the Plan rules of the Plan at the Boards discretion.
Any awards made to the participants are subject to a five year holding period from the grant date. In the event of a change of control of the Company, unvested awards will vest to the extent determined by the Board, taking into account the proportion of the period of time between grant and the normal vesting date that has elapsed at the date of the relevant event and the extent to which any performance condition has been satisfied at the date of the relevant event.
Deferred Bonus Share Plan ('DBSP')
The Company has in place a DBSP. Options granted under the DBSP reflect past performance and are in the form of nil cost options and will vest in three equal tranches from the date of issue and are subject to continued employment over the three year period.
In addition, the Options granted under the DBSP are subject to malus and clawback provisions. In the event of a change of control of the Company, unvested awards will vest to the extent determined by the Board, taking into account the proportion of the period of time between grant and the normal vesting date that has elapsed at the date of the relevant event.
Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT')
The Company has an EBT. The EBT is a discretionary trust for the benefit of the Company's employees, including the Directors of the Company. The Company will seek to satisfy the LTIP and DBSP awards set out above, where possible, through the EBT. The EBT of the Company currently holds 4,917,464 Ordinary Shares, representing 4.13 per cent. of the of the Company's total voting rights.
For reference, the figure of 119,200,332 should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
