No consideration was paid for the grant of any Option or Award.
Each Option and each award is subject to challenging financial (eg. Adjusted EPS) and total shareholder return performance targets tested over three years. 20% of awards will vest for threshold performance, with full vesting taking place for equaling, or exceeding, the maximum performance targets. Vesting of each Option and each Award will normally take place on the third anniversary of grant subject to the continued employment of the participant and the satisfaction of performance conditions set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company.
To the extent that the Options vest, the participant may call for shares during a period of five years from the date of vesting (or such longer period as the Remuneration Committee of the Company may allow). On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Vesting of an Award, the Company shall transfer or procure the transfer of the vested shares to the participant.
