The performance conditions will also include an underpin measure which includes an assessment of general financial performance, shareholder experience, risk management performance and progress against the Company's strategy. The performance period in each case is a period of three years starting on 1 January 2025 and ending 31 December 2027.

Each option will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Remuneration Committee determines the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied.  The date of release of each option will be at the end of a holding period which will end on the second anniversary of the vesting date.

Each option will, ordinarily, vest on the date on which the Remuneration Committee determines the extent to which the performance underpin has been met and approximately 15 months after commencement of the participant's employment with the Company.  Each option will be released so that the participant can exercise the vested Ordinary Shares on the vesting date.
