Partnership Shares are those Ordinary Shares purchased on behalf of the employee using an amount which the employee has chosen to have deducted from his salary, and Matching Shares are those awarded to the employee by the Company for nil consideration in respect of the Partnership Shares purchased.
The Partnership Shares were purchased and the Matching Shares were awarded at a price per share of 508.00 pence.
The Ordinary Shares are held by the Trustee and in the name of the Trustee. Partnership Shares can normally be sold at any time. Matching Shares cannot normally be disposed of for a period of three years after the award date.
