The Remuneration Committee retains discretion to change performance measures and targets, and the weightings attached to performance measures part-way through the performance period if there is a significant event, such as a major transaction.

For Executive Directors, any shares that vest will be subject to a post-vesting holding requirement that takes the total term of the award to a minimum of five years. Post-vesting clawback also applies to the Executive Directors awards. Awards to all participants are subject to pre-vesting malus.
