SENIOR EXECUTIVE SHARE AWARDS

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

Under the terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan of Whitbread PLC, conditional awards at nil cost were made on 30 April 2013 to certain senior executives of the Company in respect of the 3-year performance period 1 March 2013 to 29 February 2016. The maximum number of Whitbread PLC 76 122/153p Ordinary Shares, which each executive could potentially receive in respect of this performance period is as follows:

Paul Flaum 14,634

Andy Harrison 35,474

Christopher Rogers 24,953

The vesting of the awards will be based on Whitbread's EPS growth above RPI per annum of 4% to 10% on a sliding scale with a one-third multiplier based on ROCE in 2015/16 of 12% to 17%. The ROCE measure also acts as a hurdle.

* The awards made under the Directors' Incentive Scheme are not subject to any performance conditions. Under normal circumstances, the awards will vest in full subject to the executive remaining an employee of Whitbread until the third anniversary of the Award Date, as defined in the rules of the scheme.
