  • 1.2.3 the masculine include the feminine and vice versa.
• 1.3 Headings do not form part of the Plan.

2. Grant of Awards

• 2.1 The Board may, during a Grant Period, grant an Award to an Eligible Employee.
• 2.2 An Award may be subject to such additional terms as the Board may determine.
• 2.3 An Award may be divided into distinct tranches with different Normal Vesting Dates, and, if so, the rules of the Plan will be construed as if each tranche were itself a separate Award.
• 2.4 The grant of an Award will be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required by the FCA (or other relevant authority), any Dealing Restrictions and any other applicable laws or regulations (whether in the UK or overseas).
• 2.5 An Award may only be granted to an Eligible Employee who has earned a Bonus the Deferred Bonus part of which is to be delivered as an Award under the Plan.
• 2.6 An Award will be granted over such number of Shares as have at the Grant Date a market value equal to the Deferred Bonus and to the extent that the value of any Award as at the Grant Date exceeds that of the Deferred Bonus it will be scaled back accordingly. For these purposes, the "market value" of a Share:
• 2.6.1 shall be determined by the Board; and
• 2.6.2 will normally be determined by reference to the value of a Share at the date the Award is granted.
• 2.7 Awards must be granted by deed (or in such other written form as the Board determines) and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date, Participants must be notified of the terms of their Award including the Normal Vesting Date and any additional terms imposed by the Board in accordance with rule 2.2.
• 2.8 A Participant will be required to accept an Award in such form as the Board reasonably requires and, if the Board has not received (or waived the right to require) such acceptance on or before the date that is three months after the Grant Date:
  • 2.8.1 the Award may not Vest; and
  • 2.8.2 the Board may determine that the Award will lapse.
• 2.9 No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Plan was approved by shareholders.

3. Restrictions on Transfer and Bankruptcy

• 3.1 An Award must not be transferred, assigned, charged or otherwise disposed of in any way (except in the event of the Participant's death, to their personal representatives) and will lapse immediately on any attempt to do so.
• 3.2 An Award will lapse immediately if the Participant is declared bankrupt or, if the Participant is outside the UK, any analogous event occurs.

4. Dividend Equivalents

4.1 The Board may decide before the delivery of Shares in satisfaction of an Award that the Participant will receive an amount (in cash and/or additional Shares) equal in value to any dividends that would have been paid on those Shares on such terms and by reference to dividend record dates over such period (ending no later than the Vesting Date) as the Board may determine. This amount may assume the reinvestment of dividends (on such basis as the Board may determine) and may exclude or include special dividends.

5. Plan Limit

• 5.1 The Board must not grant an Award that would cause the number of Shares allocated under the Plan and under any other employee share plan adopted by the Company to exceed such number as represents fifteen per cent of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue.
• 5.2 Subject to rules 5.3 and 5.4, in determining the limit set out in rule 5.1 Shares are treated as allocated if, on any day, they have been newly issued by the Company or transferred from treasury to satisfy an option, award or other right granted during the ten years before that day (an "award"), or in the case of such an award in respect of which Shares are yet to be delivered, if the Board intends that new Shares will be issued or that Shares from treasury will be transferred and for these purposes the number of Shares allocated includes:
• 5.2.1 Shares that have been issued or may be issued to any Trustee; and
• 5.2.2 Shares that have been or may be transferred from treasury to any Trustee,

in either case for the Trustee to then transfer to satisfy an award (unless these Shares have already been counted under this rule).

• 5.3 The Board may determine that Shares transferred from treasury will cease to count as allocated for the purposes of rule 5.2 if guidelines published by institutional investor representative bodies no longer require such Shares to be counted.
• 5.4 The number of Shares allocated does not include:
  • 5.4.1 Shares that were allocated to satisfy awards to the extent that such awards have lapsed, been relinquished or been satisfied in cash; and
  • 5.4.2 existing Shares (other than treasury Shares) that have been transferred to satisfy awards or that have been allocated to satisfy awards.
• 5.5 If the Board purports to grant one or more Awards that are inconsistent with the limit in this rule 5, each such Award will be reduced as determined by the Board and will take effect from the Grant Date over the reduced number of Shares, save to the extent that the Board determines that any such Award shall be satisfied in a way which is not inconsistent with the limit in this rule 5.
• 5.6 The Board may make such adjustments to the method of assessing the limit set out in rule 5.1 as it considers appropriate in the event of any variation of the Company's share capital.

6. Reduction and Recovery

6.1 Notwithstanding any other rule of the Plan, this rule 6 applies to each Award and will continue to apply after the cessation of a Participant's office or employment with a Group Member for any reason, whether or not any termination is lawful.

Action that may be taken to give effect to reduction and recovery provisions

• 6.2 The Board may, where rule 6.4 or 6.5 applies:
  • 6.2.1 impose further conditions on an Award; and/or
  • 6.2.2 reduce (including to nil) the number of Shares to which an Award relates,

at any time before the Award Vests.

• 6.3 If Shares and/or cash have been delivered in satisfaction of an Award, the Board may, where rule 6.4 applies:
  • 6.3.1 require a Participant to make a cash payment to the Company in respect of some or all of the Shares or cash delivered to them under an Award; and/or
  • 6.3.2 require a Participant to transfer for nil consideration some or all of the Shares delivered to them under the Award,

at any time before the end of the Recovery Period in respect of an Award, and the Board will determine the basis on which the amount of cash or Shares is calculated including whether and if so to what extent to take account of any tax or social security liability applicable to the Award.

Triggers events

• 6.4 The Board may take any of the actions set out in rule 6.2 or 6.3 if the Board determines that any of the following circumstances have occurred or exist:
  • 6.4.1 a material misstatement of any Group Member's financial results;
  • 6.4.2 the Board forms the view that there was an error in assessing a performance condition applicable to the Bonus in respect of which the Award was granted or the information or assumptions on which an Award was granted or Vests;
  • 6.4.3 the Board determines that there has been a material failure of risk management in any Group Member or a relevant business unit;
  • 6.4.4 the Board forms the view that any Group Member (or a relevant business unit) has suffered serious reputational damage;
  • 6.4.5 material misconduct on the part of the Participant; or
  • 6.4.6 the Board forms the view that there has been a material corporate failure in any Group Member or a relevant business unit.

Cross-clawback

6.5 The Board may take any of the actions set out in rule 6.2 in order to effect the recovery of sums paid or Shares delivered under any malus or clawback provisions that are included in any incentive plan (including the Plan) operated by any Group Member.

Other provisions relating to reduction and recovery provisions

• 6.6 If the action or conduct of any Participant, Group Member or relevant business unit is under investigation by the Company, or the Company has been notified by a third party that an investigation into such action or conduct has begun, before the end of the Recovery Period and such investigation has not been or is not expected to be concluded by that date, the Board may extend the Recovery Period to end on such later date as the Board considers appropriate to allow such investigation to be concluded.
• 6.7 For the purposes of this rule 6, references to:
  • 6.7.1 a Participant include former Participants; and
  • 6.7.2 a Group Member or a relevant business unit include any former Group Member or former business unit.

7. Vesting, Exercise and Settlement

7.1 Subject to rules 8, 10 and 11, an Award will Vest on the Normal Vesting Date unless:

• 7.1.1 a Dealing Restriction applies to the Participant, in which case the Award will Vest on the date on which such Dealing Restriction lifts; or
• 7.1.2 the action or conduct of any Participant, Group Member or relevant business unit is under investigation pursuant to rule 6 and such investigation has not yet been concluded by that date, in which case an Award will Vest on such later date as the Board considers appropriate to allow such investigation to be concluded.
• 7.2 Subject to rules 8, 10 and 11, a Vested Nil-Cost Option may be exercised until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date (or such earlier date as the Board may determine on or before the Grant Date) in such manner as the Board determines, after which time it will lapse.
• 7.3 Subject to rules 8 and 9, where a Conditional Award has Vested or a Nil-Cost Option has been exercised, the number of Shares in respect of which the Award has Vested or exercised together with any additional Shares or cash to which a Participant becomes entitled under rule 4 will be issued, transferred or paid (as applicable) to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
• 7.4 Subject to rule 13, the Board may accelerate or delay the Vesting of some or all of an Award (except where rule 10 applies) if, as a result of the Participant moving jurisdiction:
  • 7.4.1 the Participant would suffer a different (including but not limited to greater and/or earlier) liability to tax and/or social security contributions than was considered to be the case on the Grant Date;
  • 7.4.2 the Participant's ability to exercise a Nil-Cost Option, or have Shares delivered to them would be restricted; and/or
  • 7.4.3 the Participant's ability to hold or deal in the Shares acquired or the proceeds of sale of or dividends payable on such Shares would be restricted or prohibited, and

the Board may determine that such Vesting will be subject to such conditions as the Board may determine, which may include restrictions on the disposal of some or all of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Award for such period as the Board may determine, and that any Shares so restricted may be forfeited if the Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member during such period in circumstances in which their Award would have lapsed if it had not Vested in accordance with this rule 7.4 and that any such Shares remain subject to reduction and recovery under rule 6. The Board may make the Vesting of the Award conditional on the Participant taking any action (including entering into any agreement) reasonably required by the Board in relation to such conditions.

7.5 Any costs associated with the delivery of Shares to satisfy an Award (including any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax) will be borne by the Company (or another Group Member). Any costs associated with the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to an Award (including on any sale pursuant to rule 8) will be borne by the Participant.

8. Relevant Liabilities and Regulatory Issues

• 8.1 A Participant will be responsible for and indemnifies each relevant Group Member and the Trustee against any Relevant Liability relating to their Award. Any Group Member and/or the Trustee may:
  • 8.1.1 withhold from amounts due to the Participant (to the extent that such withholding is lawful) an amount not exceeding such Relevant Liability; or
  • 8.1.2 make other arrangements as it considers appropriate to ensure the recovery of the Relevant Liability, which may include the sale of Shares acquired and using the proceeds to meet the Relevant Liability, or the cash settlement under rule 9 of part of the Award.
• 8.2 The Vesting of an Award, the exercise of a Nil-Cost Option and the issue or transfer of Shares under the Plan will be subject to obtaining any approval required by the FCA (or any other relevant authority), any Dealing Restrictions or any other laws or regulations (whether in the UK or overseas).
• 8.3 The Board may make the delivery of any Shares on the Vesting of a Conditional Award or the exercise of a Nil-Cost Option conditional on the Participant taking any action (including entering into any agreement) in relation to those Shares reasonably required by the Board in connection with any Shareholding Requirement.

9. Cash Equivalent

• 9.1 Subject to rule 9.2, at any time before Shares have been delivered to a Participant to satisfy an Award, the Board may determine that in substitution for their right to acquire some or all of those Shares, the Participant will instead receive a cash sum equal to:
  • 9.1.1 in the case of a Conditional Award, the market value (as determined by the Board) on the date of Vesting of the Shares that would otherwise have been delivered; or
  • 9.1.2 in the case of a Nil-Cost Option, the market value (as determined by the Board) on the date of exercise of the Shares that would otherwise have been delivered;

and any such cash sum will be paid to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the Vesting of the Conditional Award or the exercise of the Nil-Cost Option, net of any Relevant Liability.

9.2 The Board may determine that this rule 9 will not apply to an Award, or any part of it.

10. Cessation of Employment

Cessation of employment before the Normal Vesting Date – default position

10.1 If a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member before the Normal Vesting Date other than in accordance with rule 10.2 or by reason of their death, that Award will lapse on the date of such cessation.

Cessation of employment before the Normal Vesting Date – good leaver

• 10.2 If a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member before the Normal Vesting Date of an Award as a result of:
  • 10.2.1 ill-health, injury or disability as established to the satisfaction of the Board;
  • 10.2.2 the Participant's employing company ceasing to be a Group Member, or the transfer of an undertaking or part of an undertaking to a person who is not a Group Member; or
  • 10.2.3 any other reason (other than dismissal for misconduct, in which case that Award will lapse on the date of such cessation) as the Board may determine,

unless the Board determines that rule 10.4.2 will apply, that Unvested Award will continue and, subject to rules 10.5, 10.8, 10.9 and 11, will Vest in accordance with rule 7.1 on its Normal Vesting Date.

Cessation of employment on or after the Normal Vesting Date – good leaver

10.3 If a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member on or after the Normal Vesting Date for any reason (other than dismissal for misconduct, in which case that Award will lapse on the date of cessation) any Nil-Cost Option that has already Vested may be exercised in accordance with rule 10.6.

Death and early Vesting

10.4 If:

• 10.4.1 a Participant dies; or
• 10.4.2 the Board otherwise determines under rule 10.2 that this rule 10.4 will apply

then any relevant Award will Vest as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Extent of Vesting in the event of a cessation of employment before the Normal Vesting Date

10.5 If an Award Vests following a Participant having ceased to hold office or employment with a Group Member before the Award's Normal Vesting Date, the number of Shares in respect of which the Award Vests shall be determined by the Board taking into account the proportion of the period from the Grant Date to the Normal Vesting Date that has elapsed at the date of cessation (unless the Board determines otherwise or that a different pro ration formula will be applied).

Period of exercise of a Nil-Cost Option

• 10.6 If a Participant ceases to hold office or employment with a Group Member, a Nil-Cost Option (whether it Vests under this rule 10 or which has already Vested) may, subject to rule 11 and provided the Nil-Cost Option does not lapse on the date of cessation as referred to in rule 10.3, be exercised until the latest of:
  • 10.6.1 the date that is six months after the Vesting Date;
• 10.6.2 the date that is six months after the Participant's cessation of office or employment; and
• 10.6.3 where the Participant ceased to hold office or employment with a Group Member as a result of their death, the date that is twelve months after the date of the Participant's death,

or such later date as the Board may determine, after which time it will lapse.

Meaning of cessation of employment

• 10.7 For the purposes of the Plan , no person will be treated as ceasing to hold office or employment with a Group Member until that person no longer holds:
  • 10.7.1 an office or employment; or
  • 10.7.2 a right to return to an office or employment

with any Group Member, unless the Board determines that a person will be treated as ceasing to hold office or employment with a Group Member on an earlier date, not being earlier than the date such person gives or receives notice of termination of office or employment.

Leavers – shareholding requirement

10.8 The Board may determine that any Award held by a Participant after they have ceased to hold office or employment with a Group Member will lapse if the Participant fails to abide by any Shareholding Requirement.

Leavers – post-cessation change in circumstances

• 10.9 If an Unvested Award continues in accordance with rule 10.2 following a Participant ceasing to hold office or employment with a Group Member, the Board may:
  • 10.9.1 require the Participant to confirm, in such form and at such time or times as the Board requires, that in the period between the date of cessation and the Vesting Date they have not started or agreed to start employment with, or otherwise started to provide services to, any other person;
  • 10.9.2 make the delivery of any Shares to satisfy the Vesting of the Award (if it is a Conditional Award) or the exercise of the Award (if it is a Nil-Cost Option) conditional on the Participant giving the confirmation referred to in rule 10.9.1; and
  • 10.9.3 determine that the Award will lapse if:
    • (a) the Participant does not give the confirmation referred to in rule 10.9.1; or
    • (b) if the Board determines that in the period between the date of cessation and the Vesting Date the Participant has started or agreed to start employment with, or otherwise to provide services to, any other person.

11. Corporate Events

General offer and scheme of arrangement

• 11.1 Where any of the events described in rule 11.2 occur, then subject to rule 11.5:
  • 11.1.1 all Awards that have not yet Vested will Vest at the time of such event; and
  • 11.1.2 Vested Nil-Cost Options will be exercisable for one month (or such other period as the Board may determine) from the date of the relevant event, after which time all Nil-Cost Options will lapse.

    • (a) obtaining Control of the Company as a result of making a general offer to acquire Shares; or
    • (b) already having Control of the Company, making an offer to acquire all of the Shares other than those which are already owned by them

and such offer becoming wholly unconditional; or

11.2.2 a compromise or arrangement in accordance with section 899 of the Companies Act 2006 for the purposes of a change of Control of the Company being sanctioned by the Court.

  • 11.3.2 unless the Board determines otherwise, the period of time during which any Vested Nil-Cost Option may be exercised, after which time it will lapse,

and to the extent that an Award does not Vest it will lapse immediately.

Other events

• 11.4 If the Company is or may be affected by any variation of the share capital of the Company, a demerger, delisting, special dividend or other event that in the opinion of the Board, may materially affect the current or future value of Shares, the Board may determine:

  • 11.4.2 that to the extent an Award does not Vest it will lapse immediately, unless the Board determines otherwise; and
  • 11.4.3 the period during which any Vested Nil-Cost Option (whether it Vests under this rule 11.4 or earlier) may be exercised, after which time it will lapse.

Exchange

• 11.5 An Award will not Vest or lapse under rule 11.1 but will be exchanged for a new award that, in the opinion of the Board, is equivalent to the Award to the extent that:
  • 11.5.1 an offer to exchange the Award is made and accepted by a Participant;
  • 11.5.2 there is an Internal Reorganisation, unless the Board determines otherwise that an Award should Vest under rule 11.1; or
  • 11.5.3 the Board decides (before the relevant event) that an Award will be automatically exchanged.

The new award may be over shares and/or other securities issued by a different company (whether an acquiring company or a different company) and/or a right to receive a cash amount.

Meaning of Board

11.6 Any reference to the Board in this rule 11 means the members of the Board immediately before the relevant event.

12. Adjustments

  • 13.2.2 limitations on the number or amount of Shares or cash subject to the Plan;

• 13.4 No amendment to the material disadvantage of existing rights of Participants will be made under rule 13.1 unless:

  • 13.4.2 the amendment is approved by a majority of those Participants who have so indicated.
• 13.5 No amendment will be made under this rule 13 if it would prevent the Plan from being an employees' share scheme within the meaning of section 1166 of the Companies Act 2006.

14. Legal Entitlement

• 14.1 This rule 14 applies during a Participant's employment with any Group Member and after the termination of such employment, whether or not the termination is lawful.
• 14.2 Nothing in the Plan or its operation forms part of the terms of employment of a Participant and the rights and obligations arising from a Participant's employment with any Group Member are separate from, and are not affected by, their participation in the Plan. Participation in the Plan does not create any right to continued employment with a Group Member for any Participant.
• 14.3 The grant of any Award to a Participant does not create any right for that Participant to be granted any further Awards or to be granted Awards on any particular terms, including the number of Shares to which Awards relate.
• 14.4 By participating in the Plan, a Participant waives all rights to compensation for any loss in relation to the Plan, including:
  • 14.4.1 any loss or reduction of any rights or expectations under the Plan in any circumstances or for any reason (including lawful or unlawful termination of the Participant's employment);
  • 14.4.2 any exercise of a discretion or a decision taken in relation to an Award or to the Plan, or any failure to exercise a discretion or take a decision; and
  • 14.4.3 the operation, suspension, termination or amendment of the Plan.

15. General

15.1 The Plan will terminate upon the last date on which an Award may be granted under it as determined in accordance with rule 2.9, or at any earlier time by the passing of a resolution by the Board or an ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting. Termination of the Plan will be without prejudice to the existing rights of Participants.

• 15.2 Shares issued or transferred from treasury under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with the Shares then in issue, except that they will not rank for any voting, dividend or other rights attaching to Shares by reference to a record date preceding the date of issue or transfer from treasury.
