Award type

Number of shares subject to option

Philomena (Mena) Halton

Performance share award

 200,000

William (Will) Sawyer

Performance share award

 200,000

Philomena Halton

Restricted share award

 196,875

  The performance share award options were granted under the Company's share option plan.  The restricted share award was granted on a one-off basis under a separate agreement in recognition of Philomena Halton's recent promotion to Chief Executive Officer.   The performance share awards will ordinarily vest on the third anniversary of their grant subject to the grantee's continued service and the satisfaction of performance conditions based on (with equal weighting) (i) earnings per share for the Company's financial year ending 31 March 2028; and (ii) average share price over the five days preceding the third anniversary of the grant of the options. Sliding scale performance targets apply in respect of both elements, with 25% of the relevant portion of each option vesting for threshold performance, rising on a straight-line basis for full vesting of the relevant portion of each option for stretch performance or better.    The restricted share award is partially exercisable immediately, covering 175,000 of the total shares under option, and this part is not subject to any conditions. The remainder of the option, covering 21,875 shares, is exercisable after 11 August 2026 provided that employment has not been terminated before that date.  There are no other conditions attached to this part of the award.   Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them
