This agreement formalises undertakings of the Remuneration Committee given to Mr Davies prior to the lapse date of the Options, of which 15,000 were due to lapse in July 2017 and 50,000 in July 2018. The new lapse date for the Options is 31 July 2022 and 31 July 2023 respectively. The Options formed part of Mr. Davies' usual remuneration package. At the date of the lapse of these Options the performance criteria had been met and the Options were exercisable in full and held intrinsic value.
