* The 'Number of Shares Acquired' includes 44 Partnership shares acquired at 281.7 pence per share (45 Partnership shares for Phil Bentley, Nick Luff, Catherine May and Chris Weston with a higher residual balance) and 22 Matching shares acquired at 281.13 pence per share. Both Partnership and Matching elements are registered in the name of the Trustee.
(2) They had transferred 15,000 Shares from Equiniti Corporate Nominees Limited AESOP1 (Allocated shares) to Equiniti Corporate Nominees Limited AESOP2 (Unallocated shares). The transfer was made following the forfeiture of shares, under the rules of the SIP, by participants who have left the group since the last purchase and the shares had been used towards January's allocation of Matching shares.
The SIP is made available to all UK employees and operates as follows
Each month the Trustee uses participants' contributions (which may not exceed £125 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the market. These shares are called 'Partnership Shares'. At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee one 'Matching Share' for every two partnership shares purchased that month (up to a maximum of 22 matching shares per month). Participants may change their monthly savings rate whenever they wish. However, Directors and others bound by the Company's Securities Dealing Code (the "Code") may not make such a change during a close period or when otherwise prohibited from dealing by the Code.Luke ThomasCentrica plc01753 494012
