No consideration was paid for the grant of the LTIP Awards which are structured as nil cost options. The number of Ordinary Shares granted under each LTIP Award has been calculated using an Ordinary Share price of 674pence per share, being the closing share price on the dealing day immediately before the date of grant.

 

The normal vesting date of the LTIP Awards will be 18 March 2023, being the third anniversary of the award date. Once vested, the LTIP Award will normally be exercisable until the day before the tenth anniversary of the award date.  The LTIP Awards are subject to a two-year holding period commencing on vesting.

 

The LTIP Awards will normally vest after 3 years based on the satisfaction of the following performance conditions which are each measured over a 3 year period:

 

i.    Two-thirds based on adjusted diluted EPRA EPS growth: 5% p.a. growth (threshold); 8% p.a. growth (maximum).

ii.    One-sixth based on relative TSR against the FTSE 250 excluding Investment Trusts: Median performance (threshold); upper quartile performance (maximum); and

iii.   One-sixth based on relative TSR against the FTSE 350 Real Estate Super Sector: Median performance (threshold); upper quartile performance (maximum).

 

25% of the relevant element of the LTIP Award will vest for threshold performance, with straight line vesting in between to full vesting for the achievement of maximum performance.

 

In addition, no award will vest unless a minimum level of Cash on Cash Return ("CoCR") of 8% p.a. has been met.
