In accordance with the terms of the award, the number of shares that vested comprised fifty percent of the initial award plus additional shares in respect of notional dividends thereon. The number of additional shares awarded in respect of the notional dividends has been calculated on the assumption that such additional shares were deemed to have been purchased with the dividends notionally paid in respect of the vested shares at the mid-market closing price of a share on the date of payment of each such dividend during the period of the award prior to vesting. Subject to the terms of the award, the balance of the shares comprising the award are expected to vest on or around 30 September 2017. | |||||||||
