The LTIP award is a conditional grant of shares, which vest and become exercisable at nil-cost on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the individual's continued employment with the Group.

For Executive Directors, 50% of the award is subject to the achievement of EPS Targets and 35% is subject to the achievement of TSR Targets, with the balance being subject to the rate of all staff attrition and gender diversity amongst leadership and management.
