The PSP Share Options, which may be exercised from 5 August 2017 to 4 August 2024, will vest subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions.

Following the grant of the PSP Share Options, the total number of options outstanding over the Company's issued share capital is 11,269,816.

If all PSP Share Options, including those issued to persons who are not Directors, are excluded from the calculation, the total number of options outstanding over the Company's issued share capital is 6,757,431.
