The options are exercisable in the period 28 July 2020 to 20 May 2027 at an exercise price of £0.00 per share. It is anticipated that option exercises will be satisfied by the transfer of shares from the Company's employee benefit trust.
Vesting of the award and the receipt of shares will be based on the following criteria:

Vesting will occur on a sliding scale between a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in EPS of 7.5% per annum (25%) and a CAGR in EPS of 17.5% per annum (100%), namely 21.7 pence and 28.2 pence respectively.
(2) Fifty percent (50%) of the award will be based on the Company's relative TSR performance for the period from May / June 2017 to May / June 2020. The Company's TSR performance shall be measured against the TSR performance of the companies (Comparator Group) within the FTSE Small Cap (ex IT) Index over the above period and must be at least at the median of a ranking of the TSR of each of the members of the Comparator Group.
