       Remuneration disclosure
       Mr Hanratty’s 12 month notice period commences on 15 September 2015. Mr Hanratty will remain in
       post until the Company’s preliminary results in March 2016. He will remain available to the Group until
       the end of his contractual notice period, at which point his employment terminates.

       The Company’s Remuneration Committee ("the Committee") has determined that the following
       arrangements are fair, reasonable and consistent with his Service Agreement and the terms of the
       Company’s Directors' Remuneration Policy.

       In accordance with the terms of Mr. Hanratty’s service agreement, he will continue to receive his
       contractual salary and benefits for so long as he remains an employee. In recognition of his
       performance over more than thirty years of service with the Group, the Committee has applied its
       discretion to grant him good leaver status in relation to:

       -   his unvested share awards. Awards that are unvested at the end of the notice period will
           continue to vest over the outstanding vesting periods, subject to time pro-rating and performance
           conditions being met, where applicable; and
       -   his 2015 and 2016 short-term incentive arrangements. In respect of the 2015 performance
           period, his award will be calculated and delivered in 2016 in accordance with the Directors’
           Remuneration Policy and, in respect of the 2016 performance period, he will be eligible for a pro-
           rata award to the date that he ceases to be in post, calculated in accordance with the Directors’
           Remuneration Policy and delivered in cash in 2017.

       Details of the bonus awards will be disclosed in the Directors’ Remuneration Report in the Company’s
       Annual Report and Accounts for the year concerned.
