Amendments to LTIP awards
Following completion of the strategic review at the end of March 2015, the Company's Remuneration Committee has been mindful of the need for appropriate incentives to safeguard the retention and motivation of key personnel at all levels of the organisation as the Company undertakes the process of transforming and streamlining the business.
Following consultation with major shareholders, the Company will be putting in place new arrangements as set out below. The new incentives better align performance conditions with key financial and operational goals over the coming three years, with awards vesting on a sliding scale between threshold and stretch targets, based on meeting or exceeding current market guidance or related targets.
The new LTIP arrangements have been implemented by delaying the commencement of vesting for existing awards, with the addition of malus and clawback conditions.
Consequently, on 26 May 2015, awards relating to ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") held by the Company's directors under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP") were amended in relation to their normal vesting date and their performance conditions as shown below:
