The awards will normally vest on the 21 April 2025 subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company.

The following three performance conditions apply to the Award:

50 per cent. of the Award is subject to a performance condition based on the Company's earnings per share (EPS) performance over three financial years commencing with the financial year in which the Award is granted. None of this element shall vest if the Company's EPS for the 2024 financial year is less than 66p. 25 per cent. of this element shall vest if 2024 EPS is 66p, rising on a straight-line sliding scale to 100 per cent. vesting of this element if 2024 EPS is at least 76p.

30 per cent. of the Award is subject to a performance condition comparing the Company's total shareholder return (TSR) against a comparator group comprising the constituents of the FTSE 250 Index (excluding investment trusts) at the start of the TSR performance period. TSR shall be measured over three years commencing on 6 April 2022. None of this element shall vest if the Company's relative TSR over this period is below the median TSR of the comparator group. 25 per cent. of this element shall vest if the Company's TSR is in line with the median TSR of the comparator group, rising on a straight-line sliding scale to 100 per cent. vesting of this element if TSR is at least upper quartile.

The remaining 20 per cent. of the Award is subject to a performance condition based on the Company's return on capital employed (ROCE) performance over three financial years commencing with the financial year in which the Award is granted. None of this element shall vest if the Company's ROCE for the 2024 financial year is less than 11%. 25 per cent. of this element shall vest if 2024 ROCE is 11%, rising on a straight-line sliding scale to 100 per cent. vesting of this element if 2024 ROCE is at least 13%.

In line with the Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders at the 2021 AGM a two-year post-vesting period will apply to the awards made to Eoghan O'Lionaird and Duncan Kennedy.

Furthermore, the Remuneration Committee retains the discretion to adjust the Awards at vesting to ensure that all relevant factors are taken into account, including the consideration of any windfall gains.
