the Remuneration Committee has discretion to override and reduce formulaic outcomes under the LTIP awards should this be considered appropriate in the circumstances;

before any of the awards vest, the Committee must have regard to the underlying financial performance of the Company;
|
|
· |
to the extent that the performance condition is not met, the award will lapse completely;
|
|
· |
to the extent that awards vest, dividend equivalents will be accrued; and

LTIP awards are made twice a year. The maximum number of shares shown above is 112.5% of each executive director's (60% of operational director's) base salary at the date of grant, divided by NEXT's average share price over the three months prior to the start of the performance period.
