The Share Options vest on a sliding scale up to 100%, after three years from the date of grant (the "Performance Period"), subject to the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. The performance criteria is based upon the growth in Total Shareholder Return, measured using the average mid-market closing share price in the month immediately before the end of the Performance Period, plus any dividends declared and paid during the Performance Period.

The exercise price of the Share Options is £0.002 per share which equates to the nominal value of the shares.
