(i) Deferred Bonus Scheme (DBS) - Grant of Awards
The Directors/PDMRs listed in the table that follows each received awards over

shares. The shares will vest after a period of three years from the date of
grant subject normally to the participant remaining in employment with the
Company. On vesting, the participant will become entitled to additional
shares representing the value of reinvested dividends over the three-year
period.
Awards granted to Executive Directors will be subject to an additional

(ii) Performance Share Plan (PSP) - Grant of Awards
The Executive Directors listed in the table that follows were each granted
awards over Ordinary shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under
the PSP. The number of shares stated is the maximum which will become
available to each Executive Director if the performance targets applicable to
the award are achieved at their upper limit or above. On vesting, the
Executive Director will become entitled to additional shares representing the
value of reinvested dividends over the performance period. The number of
shares under each award has been calculated by reference to a price of £17.57
per share, being the average of the Company's share price over the three
dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant.
Vesting of these awards will normally only take place if performance
conditions are satisfied over the three-year performance period 1 April 2022
to 31 March 2025. These performance conditions are those indicated in the
Company's Directors' Remuneration Policy (as set out in the 2022 Annual
Report).
Awards granted to Executive Directors will be subject to an additional
post-vesting holding period during which time the Executive Director must
retain the post-tax number of shares vesting under award.

The PDMRs in the table that follows were each granted awards over Ordinary
shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under the LSP. The

allowing vesting rates to be adjusted up or down by up to 25% at the
discretion of the Remuneration Committee, may be applied if overall
performance of the Company over the performance period merits such an upward
or downward adjustment.
