- 40% of each Award will vest based on achieving stretching targets for Core EPS in the 2022/23 financial year (as set out in the 2020 annual report).

If cumulative PFP is less than GBP20m this part of an Award will not vest; if cumulative PFP is equal to GBP20m, 25% of this part an Award will vest and vesting will increase on a straight line basis to full vesting if cumulative PFP is equal to or exceeds GBP40m.
