The Company announces that the following options (the "Options") to acquire ordinary shares of 25p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") have been issued to the directors listed below.

 
 Name of director    Number of 
                      options 
 Nick Manning        300,000 
 Andrew Beach        100,000 
 

The Options were awarded under the Company's Executive Share Option Plan - in parallel with grants to other members of the senior management of the Company, totalling 1,480,000 options in aggregate - in respect of the Executive Incentive Plan for the 2015 year. The exercise price of each Option is 25p per Ordinary Share.

The vesting of the Options will be conditional on the satisfaction of performance criteria relating to the rate of compound growth of the Company's diluted adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") over the three year period ending 31 December 2017 (the "Performance Period"). Growth will be measured against the reference adjusted diluted EPS for the year ended 31 December 2014. Compound EPS growth over the Performance Period of 10% per annum or more will result in all of the Options vesting. Compound EPS growth of 4% per annum over the Performance Period will vest one fifth of the Options. None of the Options will vest if compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is less than 4% per annum. Three-fifths of the Options will vest if compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is 8% per annum. The Options will vest on a straight-line basis where compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is between 4% per annum and 8% per annum or between 8% and 10%.
