On 21 December 2015, awards under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") were made as set out in the table below.

The awards were made as nil-cost options and the number of shares over which each nil-cost option was awarded has been calculated by reference to the Company's IPO Offer Price, as permitted under the LTIP rules and referred to in the IPO prospectus published on 13 November 2015.

These nil-cost options are subject to the rules of the LTIP and will vest depending on performance against Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") and Earnings per Share ("EPS") targets as measured over a three year performance period.
