Update on LTIP Performance Condition Ranges

As noted in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2020, the Remuneration Committee took a decision in May 2020, taking account of market conditions as a result of COVID-19, to defer any decision on the threshold and maximum ranges for the Earnings Per Share ("EPS") and Margin performance conditions which would apply to awards made under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan in the year ending 31 March 2021.

The Company announces that the Remuneration Committee has now agreed to set the threshold and maximum ranges for the EPS and Margin performance conditions.

For the purpose of the EPS performance condition, which accounts for up to 50% of an award, the Remuneration Committee has set an EPS range for threshold and maximum vesting. The details are set out below:

 
 EPS target for year-ended 31 March   Portion of 50% of Award that vests 
  2023 
 42p and above                        100%

                                       between 20% and 100% 
                                     -----------------------------------

 Between 10% and 16%              Pro-rata on straight-line basis 
                                   between 20% and 100%
