The making of these awards at these levels and with these performance conditions is in accordance with the Company's Remuneration Policy with regard to the Executive Directors.

 

In making its determination in relation to the achievement of the above conditions, the Committee may, in line with the Good Governance Practice, exercise its discretion to override formulaic outcomes, including, without limitation, to reflect overall corporate performance and the experience of shareholders in terms of value creation and if the business has suffered an exceptional negative event.

 

The Remuneration Committee has discretion to adjust the level of vesting if in its opinion such level of vesting resulting from the application of the performance conditions is considered not to be a fair and accurate reflection of the performance of the Company or a fair and accurate reflection of the award holder's performance or where there is any other factor or any other circumstances which would make the level of vesting inappropriate without adjustment.
