Grant of Long Term Share Plan options
Options under the LTSP were granted as follows:
| Director | Position | Options awarded under the LTSP | Grant date | Vesting date | Minimum holding period | Total options held, including SAYE options |

| Chris Tyler | CFO | 65,000 | 153,568 |
These options can only be exercised in full if the Remuneration Committee is satisfied that in the financial year ending 30 November 2023 ('FY2023') the Group has achieved Adjusted EPS of at least 32.9 pence, which is a 15% compound annual growth rate from the Adjusted EPS in the year ended 30 November 2020. 20% of the award will vest if the Group has achieved Adjusted EPS of 24.3 pence in FY2023. A sliding scale will operate if Adjusted EPS are between 24.3 pence and 32.9 pence. No shares vest if the Adjusted EPS in FY2023 are below 24.3 pence. After the vesting period, before the end of the two year holding period, the option holder may exercise the option but may only sell sufficient shares to settle the option price and the income tax payable. The options may be exercised after the vesting period up until 2 February 2031. Claw-back and malus provisions apply.
Following this grant the total number of LTSP and SAYE options in issue is 615,732, representing approximately 1.3% of the shares in issue.
