The Performance Share Plan provides for the award of nil cost options or

Awards of shares are made subject to a three-year performance period.  Awards

performance period will then vest after an additional two-year holding period.

Awards vest subject to the satisfaction of the following performance criteria
measured over the three years to 31 December 2025:

(a) one-third of the initial value of an award is subject to the Company's
Total Shareholder Return ('TSR') performance measured against the TSR of the
FTSE Mid 250 Index (excluding investment trusts);

(b) a further one-third of the initial value of an award is subject to Group
Earnings per Share ('EPS') performance; and

(c) the final one-third of the initial value of an award is subject to the
three-year average Return on Capital Employed ('ROCE') of the Company.

Awards vest as follows:

(a) for the TSR linked part of an award, 25% (i.e. threshold) will vest if the
Company's TSR matches Index performance, rising to 100% (i.e. maximum) if the
Company's TSR outperforms the Index by 8% p.a., compound or more with sliding
scale vesting between the two points;

(b) for the EPS growth linked part of an award, 25% (i.e. threshold) will vest
if the Company's EPS growth over the period is 4% p.a., compound rising to
100% (i.e. maximum) if the Company's EPS growth over the period is 10% p.a.,
compound or more with sliding scale vesting between the two points; and

(c) for the ROCE linked part of an award, 25% (i.e. threshold) will vest if
the Company's ROCE is at least 12% p.a., rising to 100% (i.e. maximum) if the
