*Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortisation adjusted to exclude the impact of R&D expenditure,
exceptional items, equity settled long term incentive plans and gains or
losses arising on fundraising activities. The Committee may, in its absolute
discretion, make further adjustments to the Adjusted EBITDA figure disclosed
in the Company's audited consolidated accounts for the relevant financial
year, so that the Adjusted EBITDA figure fairly reflects underlying Group
financial performance. Adjustments may include, but are not limited to, the
cost of long-term strategic investments, approved after the relevant
performance condition was set, with a short-term negative impact on Adjusted
EBITDA in the relevant financial year. Such adjustments will be applied on a
logical, transparent and consistent basis.
