Vesting of the Awards is conditional upon performance conditions (relating, inter alia, to the Company's Total Shareholder Return and the Compound Annual Growth Rate in the Company's Earnings Per Share) to be applied over a three year performance period. Subject to the performance conditions any Shares which vest will be released as soon as possible following 24 June 2012.

Under the terms of the performance target (which primarily related to the Company's TSR compared against a comparator group of the constituents of the FSTE 250 Index as at date of grant over a three-year performance period), the award vested as to 37% of the Shares under award. Following the end of the performance period, the award was subject to a further two year retention period.
