The 2020 Standard Life Aberdeen plc Executive Long Term Incentive Plan - Awards have been made in the form of nil-cost options ('2020 Executive LTIP Awards') to acquire ordinary shares in the Company, subject to the rules of the Standard Life Aberdeen plc Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP) and pre-vesting performance conditions.  The performance conditions are linked to adjusted diluted earnings per share compound annual growth rate and relative total shareholder return.  Further details are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report in the Annual Report and Accounts 2019 (page 84).
