(ii) the award holder's continued employment.

 

The performance conditions are measured in three tranches such that one third of the Shares over which the LTIP awards subsist will vest based on performance over the three financial years ending on 30 June 2025, one third based on performance over the three financial years to 30 June 2026 and the final third based on performance over the three financial years to 30 June 2027 - an aggregate five year period. Any tranche (or part thereof) that does not meet the performance criteria will lapse.

 

If and to the extent that these LTIP awards vest, the resulting (net of tax) Shares will be subject to a two year holding period.

 

There was no consideration for the grant of the LTIP awards and no consideration will be payable by the award holders to receive the Shares from these LTIP awards, if and to the extent that they vest.
