The Awards vest, in accordance with the rules of the LTIP, subject to the achievement of financial performance targets over a three-year performance period. The performance conditions for the LTIP measure the Company's EPS, TSR and Revenue.  The LTIP will include an additional ROCE target which, if it is not achieved, could reduce the amount vesting by up to 10%. The performance conditions were chosen as key indicators of shareholder value and calibrated to reward sustainable long-term performance of the Company and value creation for shareholders.

The Awards are granted as conditional Awards. Subject to the rules of the Plan, each of the Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant to the extent that the performance conditions applicable to the relevant part of the Award have been satisfied. The Awards are subject to malus, a two-year holding period, and a two-year clawback period from the vesting date.

The share price at which the Awards were granted was determined to be £2.55 i.e. the higher of the average share price calculated over a period of up to 30 trading days, or 5 trading days prior to the Date of Grant.

The Directors' Remuneration Policy and the Plan rules provide the Committee maximum flexibility in applying discretion to ensure that the final outturns under the Awards reflect all relevant factors, including overall corporate performance, shareholder experience and consideration of any windfall gains.

A copy of the FCA notification form in respect of the grant of the Awards to each PDMR, as required under the EU Market Abuse Regulation and in the prescribed format, is set out below.
