The words and expressions used in the Rules which have initial capital letters have the meanings set out in Appendix 1.
The headings in the Rules are for convenience and should be ignored when construing the Rules. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular are deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words implying either gender are deemed to include both genders.
Reference in the Rules to any statutory provisions are to those provisions as amended or re-enacted from time to time, and include any regulations or other subordinate legislation made under them.
The Remuneration Committee will, from time to time, set the policies for the Company's operation and administration of the Plan within the terms of the Rules. The policies may include the determination of:
An Eligible Employee may be recommended from time to time for the grant of an Award. The grant of an Award to an Eligible Employee on a particular basis does not create any right or expectation of the grant of an Award on the same basis, or at all, in the future.
The Remuneration Committee may, at its discretion, grant to any Eligible Employee an Award over the whole number of Shares it decides in accordance with the Rules and subject, where appropriate, to the Directors' Remuneration Policy. Alternatively, the Company may request the Trustee to grant the Award in accordance with the Rules.
An Award will be granted so that it constitutes a binding agreement between the Company and the Participant. A single deed of grant may be executed in favour of any number of Participants. There will be no payment for the grant of an Award.
Awards may usually only be granted during the period of 42 days commencing on:
although Awards may also be granted at any other time that the Remuneration Committee resolves that exceptional circumstances exist which justify the grant of Awards at that time.
No Award can be granted after the Plan Period. No Award may be granted at a time during which dealing in Shares is not permitted by any order, regulation, the Market Abuse Regulation or the Dealing Code.
The exercise or vesting of an Award may and will normally be subject to a performance condition selected by the Remuneration Committee or any other condition which, in either case, will normally have to be met before the Award can vest or be exercised, as appropriate. The Remuneration Committee will have discretion to decide whether and to what extent the performance condition or any other condition to which an Award is subject has been met. Any performance or other condition:
The Board will have discretion to determine that an Award will vest to a lesser extent despite the performance condition having been satisfied in whole or part, if it considers that the overall performance of the Company (as determined by the Board) does not warrant the Award vesting in full.
Following the vesting of an Award the Shares subject to the Award may, and in the case of a Director of the Company will, be subject to a Holding Period determined by the Remuneration Committee at the time of grant. The requirement to hold Shares may be gross or net of any Tax Liability (as defined under Rule 11.7) as the Remuneration Committee may determine.
During a Holding Period, the Shares will be held by a nominee (as chosen from time to time by the Board) for the Participant or in any other manner the Remuneration Committee determines to enable it to monitor ownership of the Shares.
The grant of an Award will be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required under any applicable regulations or enactments.
A Participant will be notified of the grant of an Award and may be issued with an award certificate specifying:
Alternatively, a Participant may be advised where that information can be accessed or obtained electronically.
An Award may not, nor may any rights in respect of it, be transferred, assigned, charged or otherwise disposed of to any person except that, on the death of a Participant, an Award may be transmitted to the Participant's personal representatives.
No pension benefits will accrue on the value of Awards.
A Participant may disclaim all or part of an Award by notice in writing to the Grantor within 30 days after the Date of Grant. No consideration will be paid for the disclaimer of the Award. To the extent that an Award is disclaimed, it will be treated for all purposes as never having been granted.
The Company may require a Participant resident for tax purposes in the UK to enter into an agreement under paragraph 3A of Schedule 1 to the SSCBA or to make an election under paragraph 3B of Schedule 1 to the SSCBA in relation to any secondary Class I National Insurance contributions arising on the vesting or exercise of the Award.
The number of Shares that may be allocated under the Plan on any day cannot, when added to the aggregate of the number of Shares allocated in the previous 10 calendar years under the Plan and any other Employees' Share Plan adopted by the Company, exceed the number of Shares that is equal to 10 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue on the last Dealing Day before that day.
The number of Shares that may be allocated under the Plan on any day cannot, when added to the aggregate of the number of Shares allocated in the previous 10 calendar years under the Plan and any other Discretionary Share Plan adopted by the Company, exceed the number of Shares that is equal to 5 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue on the last Dealing Day before that day.
In calculating the limits in Rules 3.1 and 3.2, any Shares where the right to acquire them was released or lapsed without vesting or being exercised, and any Shares subject to any share award under any Employees' Share Plan granted before or within 30 days following Listing, will be disregarded. Partnership shares under any Share Incentive Plan operated by the Company and any Shares allocated under the Share Incentive Plan before or within 30 days following the date the Shares were first Listed will also be disregarded.
References in Rules 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 to the allocation of Shares mean, in the case of a share award or option plan, the placing of unissued Shares or treasury Shares under award or option and, in relation to other types of Employees' Share Plan, mean the issue and allotment of Shares or the transfer of Shares out of treasury. The placing of treasury Shares under award or option or the transfer of Shares out of the treasury may be disregarded if the share incentive scheme guidelines of the Investment Association are amended to permit such shares to be disregarded.
Where Shares issued under the Plan or any other Employees' Share Plan of the Company are to be taken into account for the purposes of the limits in this Rule 3 and a Variation has taken place between the date of issue of those Shares and the date on which the limit is to be calculated, then the number of Shares taken into account for the purposes of the limit will be adjusted in the manner the Board considers appropriate to take account of the Variation.
Subject to Rule 4.2, Under normal circumstances, and unless and until the Committee determines otherwise and at all times subject to the Directors' Remuneration Policy, the maximum total Market Value (determined on the Dealing Day preceding the Date of Grant) of Shares which may be subject to Awards granted to any Eligible Employee an executive director of the Company in any financial year of the Company will not exceed an amount equal to 200250 per cent. of the Eligible Employee's director's base salary from any Group Company employing the Eligible Employee director or with
which he holds an office for that financial year.
The limit stated at Rule 4.1 shall be 450 per cent. of a director's base salary in respect of Awards granted during the financial year of the Company ending 30 April 2024.
Subject to Rule 5.10 and except as otherwise provided in this Rule 5 and in Rule 6, an Award will vest on its Normal Vesting Date provided that the Participant is then in Employment.
A Conditional Award will not vest on a day which is in a Closed Period. If a Conditional Award would, but for this Rule 5.2, have vested on a day which is in a Closed Period, the day on which the Award vests will be the first Dealing Day following the end of the Closed Period.
Subject to Rules 5.10, 5.11 and 6, if a Participant ceases to be in Employment before the Normal Vesting Date due to:
the Participant's Award(s) will vest either on the Normal Vesting Date or, if the Remuneration Committee so decides, immediately on the Participant ceasing to be in Employment and on the terms the Remuneration Committee thinks fit. Unless the Remuneration Committee determines otherwise, any Holding Period will continue to apply. The Remuneration Committee may reassess at the Normal Vesting Date whether the Participant continues to fall within the same circumstance (in particular as to Retirement) and may require evidence from the Participant to substantiate that position with vesting contingent on the assessment.
Unless the Remuneration Committee determines otherwise, a Participant's Award will not vest under this Rule 5 if, at the time it would otherwise have vested, the Participant has been suspended from Employment pending an investigation under the disciplinary procedures applicable to the Participant. The Award may vest, subject to the Rules, following the resolution and dependent on the outcome of the disciplinary procedures.
For the purposes of Rules 5.3 and 6, a Participant who leaves Employment while on an approved leave of absence will cease Employment on the date on which the Participant indicates either that the Participant does not intend to return to work or will not be returning to work. If the Participant gives no indication, the Participant will cease Employment on the day after the date on which the Participant was due to return to work.
If a Participant transfers from one jurisdiction to another and continues or will continue to hold an office or employment with a Group Company as a result of that transfer and will either:
the Remuneration Committee may, at its discretion, allow any Award held by that Participant to vest during the period beginning three months before and ending three months after the transfer of the Participant, subject to Rules 5.10 and 5.11, and the Remuneration Committee will determine the period during which any Nil-Cost Option will be exercisable in such circumstances.
Subject to Rules 5.10, 5.11 and 6 and provided the Award is not to be exchanged under Rule 5.8 an Award will vest (and no Holding Period will apply) on the date on which:
If a company (the Successor Company) has obtained Control of the Company, and either (a) the shareholders of the Successor Company immediately after it has obtained Control are substantially the same as the shareholders of the Company immediately before that event; or (b) the Remuneration Committee (as constituted before the relevant event) decides, and the Successor Company consents to the exchange of Awards under this Rule, Awards will not vest pursuant to Rule 5.7 but will be exchanged for equivalent Awards (as determined by the Remuneration Committee as constituted
before the relevant event) in respect of shares in the Successor Company or another company within the Successor Company's group.
Subject to Rules 5.10, 5.11 and 6, an Award will vest:
This Rule 5.9 will not apply where the winding-up, in either case, is for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation.
An Award will only vest under Rules 5.1, 5.3, 5.6, 5.7, or 5.9 if, and to the extent that, any conditions imposed under Rule 2.5 have been satisfied at the date of the relevant event, or any earlier date determined by the Remuneration Committee. Where the Remuneration Committee is required to determine the extent of vesting of an Award following the occurrence of an event under which the Award vests before its Normal Vesting Date, the Remuneration Committee will be as constituted before the occurrence of the relevant event.
The number of Shares in respect of which an Award will vest pursuant to Rules 5.3, 5.6, 5.7 and 5.9 will be reduced on a pro rata basis to take account of the time that has elapsed between the Date of Grant and the date of the relevant event as a proportion of the period between the Date of Grant and the Normal Vesting Date. However, the Remuneration Committee will have discretion to determine that an Award will vest as to a greater number of Shares than it would otherwise have done pursuant to this Rule 5.11 if it believes that there are circumstances that warrant such a determination.
A Participant may, at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, receive cash or further Shares equal in value, so far as possible, to any dividends paid or payable on the Shares in relation to which a Nil-Cost Option is exercised or a Conditional Award vests, by reference to record dates from the Date of Grant until the date of vesting (or expiry of any Holding Period) as appropriate. Any payment due under this Rule 5.12 will be made net of any income tax and/or social security contributions due in respect of it.
The Remuneration Committee may, subsequent to the grant of an Award but before the vesting of the Award, in its absolute discretion determine that a reduction in the number of Shares subject to the Award is justified. In such circumstances, the Remuneration Committee may reduce (including to zero) the number of Shares subject to the Award to take account of the relevant circumstances. If the Remuneration Committee exercises its discretion under this Rule 5.13, it will confirm this in writing to the affected Participant.
The circumstances in which the Remuneration Committee may make such a determination include but are not limited to:
If the Remuneration Committee exercises its discretion under this Rule 5.13, the Award will be deemed to have been granted over the lower number of Shares and the vesting of the Award in accordance with the Rules will be by reference to this reduced number of Shares.
At any time within the Clawback Period, in circumstances where the Remuneration Committee determine such action is justified, the Remuneration Committee may require a Participant to repay, in the manner it determines, such number of Shares (or cash amount) received in respect of the Award (or such cash amount representing the value of the Shares) as the Remuneration Committee considers appropriate. The value of the shares shall be determined:
The circumstances in which the Remuneration Committee may make such a determination include but are not limited to:
(b) the extent to which any performance target and/or any other condition was satisfied was based on an error, or on inaccurate or misleading information or assumptions which resulted either directly or indirectly in an Award being granted or vesting to a greater extent than would have been the case had that error not been made; or
(c) circumstances arose (or continued to exist or arise) during the vesting period of an Award which would have warranted the summary dismissal of the Participant;
At any time before the expiry of the Clawback Period, the Remuneration Committee may, by giving written notice to Participants, extend the Clawback Period.
Subject to Rule 6.2, a vested Nil-Cost Option may be exercised until the tenth anniversary of its Date of Grant or any shorter exercise period specified at its Date of Grant. However, if an event referred to in Rule 5 occurs, a Nil-Cost Option will be exercisable, to the extent permitted by the Dealing Code, during the period of:
An Award will lapse on the earliest of:
(e) as soon as any condition imposed under Rule 2.5 can, in the opinion of the Remuneration Committee, no longer be met.
Where, as a result of the application of Rules 5.10 or 5.11, an Award has not vested or has only vested in part, the part of the Award that has not vested will lapse immediately.
The Shares subject to a Conditional Award in respect of which it has vested will, subject to the other provisions of this Rule 7 and Rule 11.7, be delivered to the Participant (or the Participant's nominee) within thirty days following the date of vesting of the Award.
Where a Holding Period applies, the Shares will be delivered to a nominee for the Participant, or into any other arrangement the Remuneration Committee directs in accordance with Rule 2.6
A Nil-Cost Option may be exercised over the number of Shares in respect of which it has vested. The Shares in respect of which a Nil-Cost Option is exercised will, subject to the other provisions of this Rule 7 and Rule 11.7, be delivered to a Participant (or the Participant's nominee) within thirty days of the Option Exercise Date.
Where a Holding Period applies, the Shares will be delivered to a nominee for the Participant, or into any other arrangement the Remuneration Committee directs in accordance with Rule 2.6
To exercise a Nil-Cost Option, a Participant must complete and deliver a notice of exercise in the form prescribed by the Remuneration Committee properly completed by the Participant (or by the Participant's duly authorised agent).
The Remuneration Committee may require as a condition of vesting or exercise of an Award that the Participant pay up the nominal value of the Share subject to the Award in the manner the Remuneration Committee determines.
Subject to Rule 11.7, the Company may, in lieu of the Participant's right to receive Shares pursuant to Rule 7.1 or 7.2, make a cash payment equal to the Market Value of the Shares in respect of which the Award had vested or been exercised (as appropriate).
The Company may, in lieu of the Participant's right to receive the full number of Shares pursuant to Rule 7.1 or 7.2 determine, either:
(a) to reduce the number of Shares in respect of which an Award will vest or has been exercised by a number of Shares that have a value at least (in its estimation) equal to the liability of the
Participant to any income tax and social security contributions (or overseas equivalent) (including any Class 1 National Insurance contributions the Participant has agreed to pay) that would have arisen in connection with the exercise or vesting of the Award, so that the Award becomes an entitlement to receive both the reduced number of Shares and a cash amount (the Cash Amount) equal to the value of the number of shares by which the Award is reduced (the Adjusted Award) and procure that the relevant Group Company applies such of the Cash Amount as is necessary in making a payment directly to the relevant tax authority to discharge the liability of the Participant to income tax and social security contributions that arises as a result of the exercise or vesting of the Adjusted Award (with any surplus cash being returned to the Participant); or
(b) that the Award will only vest in respect of that number of Shares subject to it in respect of which the Participant has provided to the relevant Group Company the funds sufficient to meet the liability to income tax and social security contributions arising on vesting, with the remainder of the Shares subject to the Award vesting subsequently when vesting would not occur in a Closed Period.
This Rule 7.6 will not apply to Awards made in any jurisdiction where the presence of this Rule would cause:
The delivery of any Shares or cash under the Plan will be subject to obtaining any necessary approval or consent required under any applicable regulations or enactment.
Shares acquired by a Participant under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with the Shares then in issue, except that they will not be entitled to any rights attaching to Shares by reference to a record date falling before the day on which the Participant is entered on the Company's register of shareholders in respect of those Shares.
While the Shares are Listed, the Company will apply for the Listing of any Shares issued pursuant to the Plan as soon as practicable after their allotment.
If there is a Variation, or any other corporate event which in the reasonable opinion of the Board justices an adjustment, the number and/or type of Shares over which an Award is granted may be adjusted in the manner the Grantor determines but so that the underlying economic value of the Award remains unchanged.
The Grantor will take any steps it considers necessary to notify Participants of any adjustments made under this Rule 8.
The Plan will be administered by the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee has full authority, consistent with the Rules, to administer the Plan, including authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt any regulations for administering the Plan and any documents it thinks necessary or appropriate. The Remuneration Committee's decision on any matter concerning the Plan will be final and binding. The Remuneration Committee may delegate its authority under this Rule 9.1.
The Company will bear the costs of introducing and operating the Plan (including, but not limited to, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax and any other costs relating to the issue or transfer of Shares on the vesting or exercise of Awards). The Company may require any Group Company to enter into an agreement which obliges that company to reimburse the Company for any costs borne by the Company, directly or indirectly, in respect of the Group Company's officers or employees.
The Company will ensure that sufficient Shares are available to satisfy all outstanding Awards.
Any notice or other communication in connection with the Plan will be in writing and may be given:
Any notice under Rule 9.4 will be given:
In proving service of notice, it will be sufficient to prove that delivery was made or that the envelope containing it was properly addressed, prepaid and posted or that the email or other form of electronic transfer was properly addressed and despatched, as appropriate.
Participants may, but are not entitled to, receive copies of any notice or document sent by the Company to the holders of Shares.
The Remuneration Committee may determine for any relevant jurisdiction the exchange rate between UK £ Sterling and the relevant currency to be applied where it is necessary to convert from UK £ Sterling to that currency or vice versa for the purposes of the Plan.
Subject to the provisions of this Rule 10, the Board can at any time amend any of the provisions of the Plan in any respect.
Subject to Rule 10.4, no amendment can be made to the advantage of Participants or Eligible Employees to the:
without prior approval by ordinary resolution of the members of the Company in general meeting.
No amendment will be made under Rule 10.1 which would abrogate or materially affect adversely the subsisting rights of a Participant unless it is made:
and, for the purposes of this Rule 10.3, the provisions of the articles of association of the Company and of the Companies Act 2006 relating to shareholder meetings will apply with the necessary changes.
Rule 10.2 will not apply to any amendment which is:
The Board may adopt additional schedules to the Plan applicable in any jurisdiction, under which Awards may be subject to additional and/or modified terms and conditions, having regard to any securities, exchange control or taxation laws, regulations or practice which may apply to the Participant, the Company or any Group Company. Any additional schedule must conform to the basic principles of the Plan and must not enlarge to the benefit of Participants the limits in Rules 3 and 4. Any additional section and all Awards granted under that section will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England.
Participants will be given written notice of any material amendments to the Plan made under Rule 10 which affect them as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been made.
No amendment will be made to the Plan if, as a result of the amendment, it would cease to be an Employees' Share Plan.
The Plan will terminate at the end of the Plan Period or at any earlier time determined by the Board. Termination of the Plan will not affect Awards granted before its termination.
The Company and any Group Company may provide money to the Trustees or any other person to enable them to acquire Shares to be held for the purposes of the Plan, or enter into any guarantee or indemnity for those purposes, to the extent permitted by any applicable law.
Nothing in the Plan will give any officer or employee of any Group Company any right to participate in the Plan. The rights and obligations of any individual under the terms of the individual's office or employment with a Group Company will not be affected by the individual's participation in the Plan nor any right which the individual may have to participate under it. A Participant holding an Award will not have any rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to that Award or the Shares subject to it.
A Participant waives all and any rights to compensation or damages for the termination of the Participant's office or employment with a Group Company for any reason whatsoever (including unlawful termination of employment) insofar as those rights arise or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights under the Plan as a result of that termination or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements. Nothing in the Plan or in any document executed under it will give any person any right to continue in employment or will affect the right of any Group Company to terminate the employment of any Participant or Eligible Employee or any other person without liability at any time, with or without cause, or will impose on the Company, any Group Company, the Board or their respective agents and employees any liability in connection with the loss of a Participant's benefits or rights under the Plan or as a result of the exercise of a discretion under the Plan for any reason as a result of the termination of the Participant's employment.
The benefit of Rules 11.3 and 11.4 is given for the Company, for itself and as trustee and agent of all the Group Companies. The Company will hold the benefit of these Rules on trust and as agent for each of them and may assign the benefit of this Rule 11.5 to any of them.
Any Shares acquired on the vesting or exercise of Awards will be subject to the articles of association of the Company from time to time.
Any Group Company or former Group Company may withhold any amounts and/or make any arrangements it considers necessary to meet any liability to taxation or social security contributions for which it or any other Group Company or former Group Company is liable to account in connection with the vesting or exercise of Awards, including the delivery of a reduced number of Shares pursuant to Rule 7.6 or the sale of Shares on behalf of a Participant, unless the Participant discharges the Tax Liability.
The invalidity or non-enforceability of one or more provisions of the Plan will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Plan.
The Plan confers no benefit, right or expectation on an individual who is not a Participant. No third party has any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Plan. Any other right or remedy which a third party may have is not affected by this Rule 11.9.
Eligible Employees acknowledge that personal data in relation to them may be held by a Group Company and/or the Trustees and passed on to a third party broker, registrar, administrator and/or future purchaser of the Company for the operation or administration of the Plan. Further information about how the Company processes personal data of Eligible Employees is set out in the Company's privacy notice, available in the Company's employee privacy policy on the Company's intranet.
Eligible Employees agree, as a condition of their participation in the Plan, to the processing described in this Rule 11.10 in relation to the processing of personal data which is outside the scope of EU data protection laws (i.e. not processed in the context of the activities of a controller or processor established in the European Union and not otherwise within the scope of European Union data protection laws, or the laws of a jurisdiction deemed to be adequate for the purposes of European Union data protection laws).
These Rules will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. All Participants, the Company and any other Group Company will submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any dispute (including non-contractual disputes) arising under the Plan.
