- 50% of the award will be released if adjusted EPS growth is 16% per annum or more;
- Vesting between these points will continue to be on a straight-line basis.
The remaining 50% of the award is based on Total Shareholder Return (TSR). Full details of the performance conditions applying in respect of TSR were disclosed in the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2007.
Awards under the LTIP continue to lapse if the performance conditions are not met. There is no re-testing of performance conditions.
