The actual number of Options which the recipients could receive under the FPIP ranges from zero to 100% subject to the achievement of the performance targets. For the purposes of disclosure and maintenance of certain statutory records, the number of Nil-Cost Options is taken to be 100% of the number of Nil-Cost Options awarded, as detailed above.

Performance will be measured at the end of a three year performance period against two equally weighted performance conditions, namely one half absolute Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), and one half relative TSR. Awards granted to the recipients will be required to be held for an additional two year holding period after the three year performance period.

Total Holdings

Following these transactions the Executive Directors hold the following Ordinary Shares together with options over the same (including Matching Shares) exercisable at various prices as follows:
