The share awards have been granted on a conditional basis and no shareholder rights will be conferred upon the grantee until the awards have vested. Such vesting is subject to, inter alia, the achievement of the performance criteria of the scheme over the three year measurement period to 31 December 2014 in relation to 30% of the award and the executive's continued employment with the Group over the three year period in relation to the balance.
