The options granted under the LTIP award will vest in full only if the reported adjusted EPS growth in the period to the third anniversary of the grant exceeds the UK rate of Consumer Price Inflation by at least 30 per cent. Partial vesting for growth below this rate will be at the absolute discretion of the
Remuneration Committee at the appropriate time.
 
The Board believes that the performance conditions attaching to the LTIP awards are a fair measure of value creation and align the Directors' interest with those of shareholders.
