In line with best practice, the award granted to Frank Mathias was scaled back
from 200% of salary to 160% of salary, with the same proportionate scale back
applied to below board grantees. As a newly appointed Director, Lucinda
Crabtree's award was scaled back from 175% of salary to 157.5% of salary.

The Remuneration Committee has determined that EBITDA margin and revenue
growth are the key metrics aligned with the growth strategy. Therefore, for
this grant the performance conditions will be based on those metrics, weighted
40% EBITDA margin and 60% revenue growth, with no non-financial leading
performance indicators metrics. Performance in respect of each measure will be
assessed following the end of a three year performance period ending with
2026. Details of the targets for the EBITDA margin and revenue growth measures
are included in the 2023 Directors' Remuneration Report.

The awards will "vest" on 3 October 2027 to the extent determined by reference
to the assessment of the performance condition. The awards granted to Frank
Mathias and Lucinda Crabtree will only be "released" so that they can be
exercised following the end of a further two year holding period. The awards
granted to other participants will be released at vesting.
