This is a long-term share-based award which will vest after the end of a 5-year performance period, subject to the achievement of the targets approved by the Executive Resource and Compensation Committee. The number of shares to be released as soon as practicable upon vesting will be determined based on, inter alia, the award multiplied by an achievement factor.

If the performance level exceeds minimum but is below superior, the achievement factor will be adjusted accordingly within the range of 0.2 to 3.0. If the performance level is superior and above, the achievement factor will be 3.0. Conversely, if the performance level is below minimum, the achievement factor will be zero and no share will be released. In the event of early achievement of the targets within the first three years of the performance period, a maximum of 20% to 50% of the baseline award can be released after the third year, with any balance in excess of 50% of the baseline award to be released only after the fifth year.
