These options enable the Executive Directors to benefit only from the future 
growth in the value of the Ordinary Shares above 10.25 pence. The Executive 
Directors may not normally realise any such benefit for three years and the 
Options expire ten years after being granted. The directors hold no other 
options in the Group.
