 Cumulative Adjusted EPS for           Percentage of 
  the period 2013/2014 to 2016/2017     the Award that 
                                        will vest 
------------------------------------  ----------------- 
 23.02 pence per Share                 25% 
------------------------------------  ----------------- 
 Greater than 23.02 pence per          Determined on

  per Shares                            basis between 
                                        25% and 100% 
------------------------------------  ----------------- 
 24.83 pence per Share                 100%

The above targets equate to adjusted EPS growth from the 2013/2014 outturn of c 7% growth per annum for 25% vesting and c 11% per annum for 100% vesting

Notwithstanding the Cumulative Adjusted EPS calculated above the extent to which the Award will vest will be subject to the Board's assessment of the quality of earnings over the performance period. The Board may reduce the extent to which the Award would otherwise vest if the Board determines that the Cumulative Adjusted EPS is not consistent with the achievement of commensurate underlying financial performance taking into account such factors as the Board considers appropriate, including:

market share, margin performance, net debt, overall returns to shareholders; and

shareholder value creation.

The Board may make such adjustments to the method of calculating Cumulative EPS or any other feature of the terms of the performance condition as it considers appropriate to take account of:

any increase or variation of the share capital of the Company;

any change to accounting standards or the reporting of financial results;

the impact of discontinued businesses on results for any relevant financial year;

there being no earnings per share of the Company for any relevant financial year;

any other factors considered by the Board to be relevant.

No consideration is payable on the grant of these Awards.

The above notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4.
