Notes:
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 and are registered in the name of the Trustee. 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) and these are registered in the name of the Trustee. 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.Copyright Business Wire 2014
