This grant was approved by the Remuneration Committee on 3 October 2019. It is a joining grant made at the first opportunity following John's start date in August, having joined the Board on 26 September 2019.
No consideration was paid for the grant of any of the options, or is due on the exercise of options granted under the LTIP scheme. These options carry the performance criteria of EPS and TSR (50/50 weighting) which must be achieved during a 3 year vesting period. Actual performance targets are considered commercially sensitive and will be disclosed retrospectively.
