Each Eligible Employee will be required to specify the Contribution that they wish to make to the Plan for the duration of the Savings Period.

LIMITS AND SCALING BACK







 



	
4.1

	
At the end of the Enrolment Period, the aggregate Contributions in Euros to be made by Participants will be calculated for the relevant Savings Period and for this purpose the same exchange rates as described in rule 2.2.5 (the original exchange rate) will be applied to convert Contributions to be made in another currency to Euros.







 



	
4.2

	
If the aggregate value of Contributions in Euros to be made during the Savings Period determined in accordance with rule 4.1 would exceed any Contribution Limit, the Board may reduce the Contributions to be made by Participants by such method or methods as it deems appropriate provided that in reducing Contributions, the Board must not reduce the Contributions below the Scale Back Threshold.







 



	
4.3

5.3

	
Where Shares are purchased in the market at more than one price with Participants’ Contributions, the average price of the Shares calculated over several Dealing Days may be used to determine the number of Purchased Shares acquired on behalf of each Participant.







 



	
5.4

	
Where Contributions are made in a currency other than the currency in which Shares are traded, Contributions will be exchanged at the prevailing exchange rate before being used to acquire Purchased Shares.







 



	
5.5

	
Purchased Shares will be held on the Participants’ behalf during the Holding Period in a nominee account or a book entry account or on such other basis as the Board determines.







 



	
5.6

	
All dividends paid in respect of Purchased Shares will be used to acquire additional Shares, which will be held for the Participant on the same terms as the Purchased Shares to which they relate, except that such Shares will not be included when applying the Matching Share Ratio.







 



	
5.7

	
Subject to any Dealing Restrictions, a Participant may sell or transfer some or all of their Purchased Shares at any time during the Holding Period. However, the number of Matching Shares that will Vest will be reduced proportionately in accordance with rule 6.2 (application of the Matching Share Ratio).







 



	
5.8

	
If a Participant uses his Purchased Shares as security for any liability during the Holding Period, such Purchased Shares will be treated as having been sold or transferred pursuant to rule 5.6.







 



	
6

	
MATCHING SHARE AWARDS







 



	
6.1

	
A Participant will receive a Matching Share Award on the first Dealing Day after the Enrolment Period, or if the enrolment is subject to any regulatory approvals, on the first Dealing Day after such regulatory approval has been obtained provided that there is a period of at least three months between the date on which the Participant receives his Matching Share Award and the end of the Savings Period.







 



	
6.2

	
The Matching Share Award will relate to such number of Shares as will be determined by applying the Matching Share Ratio to the number of Purchased Shares held by a Participant at the end of the Holding Period, whether deemed to end or otherwise, not exceeding that number of Purchased Shares acquired with Contributions up to the Participant’s Original Euro Contribution Value.







 



	
6.3

	
A Participant is not required to pay for the Matching Share Award.







 



	
6.4

	
Matching Shares may be new Shares, treasury Shares (i.e. Company’s own shares held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries) or Shares purchased from the market.







 



	
6.5

	
Before the Shares to which a Matching Share Award relates are issued or transferred to a Participant following Vesting, each Participant will have no rights in respect of those Shares.







 



	
6.6

	
A Matching Share Award must not be used as security for any liability, be transferred or otherwise disposed of (except in the event of the Participant’s death, to his personal representatives) and will lapse immediately on any attempt to do so.

5











  






            










 


 







	
  

	
7.1.2

	
Purchased Shares will no longer be subject to rule 5.6 (proportionate reduction in Matching Shares) or any other rule of the Plan and subject to rule 9 (taxation and regulatory issues) a Participant will be entitled to sell or otherwise transfer the Purchased Shares without the sale or transfer having an effect on his right to receive Matching Shares.







 



	
8

	
FREE SHARES







 



	
8.1

	
If the Board determines pursuant to rule 2.2.10 that Free Shares will be applicable to a Plan Cycle, this rule 8 will apply.







 



	
8.2

	
Any Participant, who makes Contributions to the Plan for such number of consecutive months as determined by the Board pursuant to rule 2.2.10 which are then used to acquire Purchased Shares on his behalf, will receive a number of Free Shares, determined by the Board, in accordance with rule 8.3.







 



	
8.3

	
Subject to rule 9 (taxation and regulatory issues) and rule 10 (cash equivalent), the Free Shares will be issued or transferred to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable following the application of the last of such number of consecutive Contributions referred to in rule 8.2 to the acquisition of Purchased Shares.







 



	
9

	
TAXATION AND REGULATORY ISSUES







 



	
9.1

	
A Participant will be responsible for and indemnifies each relevant Group Member against any Tax Liability. Any Group Member may withhold an amount to settle such Tax Liability from any amounts due to the Participant (to the extent such withholding is not in breach of any applicable laws) and/or make any other arrangements as it considers appropriate to ensure recovery of such Tax Liability including, without limitation, the sale of sufficient Shares acquired subject to a Matching Share Award or otherwise to realise an amount to settle the Tax Liability. A Participant will also be responsible for all taxes and social security liabilities which he is obliged to account for directly to any tax authority in any jurisdiction in connection with the Plan.







 



	
9.2

	
The Company, the Eligible Employees and the Participants are obliged to comply with any applicable laws and regulations on insider dealing and any Company insider policies.







 



	
9.3

	
It may be required to terminate early the Savings Period and the Holding Period should any tax, regulatory, operational or legal obstacles arise which impacts or is likely to impact the feasibility of operating the Plan in any Participating Jurisdiction during the Plan Cycle.  In such circumstances, pursuant to rule 6.2, Participants will still retain their rights to the Matching Shares accrued in relation to all Purchased Shares acquired to the point of early termination and the Holding Period would be seen to end as at the last day of the month of their final purchase of Purchased Shares.  Delivery of the Matching Shares will continue in accordance with the scheduled delivery of Matching Shares to all other Participants unless in instances where rule 10.1 applies.







 



	
10

	
CASH EQUIVALENT







 



	
10.1

	
At any time prior to Vesting of a Matching Share Award or the issue or transfer of Free Shares pursuant to rule 8.3, the Board may determine that in substitution for his right to acquire some or all of the relevant Shares, the Participant will instead receive a cash sum. The cash sum will be equal to the market value of that number of the Shares which would otherwise have been issued or transferred and for these purposes:







 



	
  

	
10.1.1

	
market value will be determined on the date of Vesting in the case of a Matching Share Award and, in the case of Free Shares, the date on which the last of the Contributions is applied to acquire Purchased Shares in accordance with rule 8.2. For the purposes of the Matching Share Award payment, the date of Vesting, when market value is determined, shall be the last date of the Holding Period; and







           




  





6











  






            










 


 







	
  

	
10.1.2

11.2
