Performance Share Plan
Under the rules of the performance share plan, awards are subject to uplift for notional dividends made or paid during the performance period. Accordingly, the dividend shares shown below have been notionally added to and form part of the award. In respect of the final dividend of 23.13 pence per share paid on 2 August 2010, the number of additional shares granted has been calculated using the closing share price on 2 August 2010 of 590.5 pence per share. The figures reflect the maximum number of shares over which the option might be exercised. The actual number will depend upon the extent to which the established performance conditions are satisfied over the performance period. The awards are issued for nil consideration and may be exercised at nil cost to the participant.

Deferred Share Award Plan
Under the rules of the deferred share award scheme (`the scheme') awards are subject to uplift for notional dividends made or paid during the vesting period. Accordingly the dividend shares shown below have been notionally added to and form part of the award. In respect of the final dividend of 23.13 pence per share paid on 2 August 2010, the number of additional shares awarded has been calculated using the closing share price on 2 August 2010 of 590.5 pence per share. Under the terms of the scheme, awards will (which are structured as options to acquire shares in the company with a zero exercise price) be satisfied by using shares purchased in the market or by payment of a cash amount equal to the market value, on the date of exercise, of the shares (including dividend equivalent shares) held. Newly issued or treasury shares cannot be used to satisfy awards under this plan. No directors of the company can participate in the scheme. The awards will normally become capable of exercise after the end of the vesting period and must be exercised within 90 days thereafter. The ability to exercise an award is not subject to satisfying a performance target.
