	 	4.1.2	 any Normal Vesting Date; and 

 

	 	4.1.3	 the first date on which Vesting is not prevented by a Transfer Restriction. 

However, the Committee may in its sole discretion, at any time, decide that the Award will Vest on any earlier date and/or waive any
Performance Condition. 

  
 6 

	4.2	 Delayed Vesting 

Vesting is delayed in respect of a Participant’s Award, or any part of it, if any of the following circumstances apply on the anticipated
date of Vesting: 
  

	 	4.2.1	 if the Participant is subject to any Disciplinary Action; 

 

	 	4.2.2	 if the Participant’s employment has terminated or is about to terminate in circumstances where it is not
clear whether the Award should lapse under rule 6; or 

  

	 	4.2.3	 the Committee consider that it is necessary or appropriate to defer Vesting. 

In these cases, Vesting will not occur unless and until the Committee determine that the Award should Vest. 

“Disciplinary Action” for the purpose of this rule 4.2 (Delayed Vesting), means any enquiry or investigation by the Group into
the conduct, capability or performance of a Participant that may potentially lead to disciplinary action being taken against that Participant, and/or any disciplinary procedure (whether in accordance with any relevant contractual obligation, policy
or otherwise) that has been commenced by any member of the Group against a Participant; 
  

	4.3	 Consequences of Vesting for RSUs 

As soon as reasonably practicable following Vesting of an RSU, the Grantor will arrange (subject to rules 4.7, 4.8, 6.3 and 9.5) for the number
of Shares in respect of which the Award has Vested to be issued or transferred to, or to the order of, the Participant. 
  

	4.4	 Consequences of Vesting for Options 

 

	 	4.4.1	 A Participant may only exercise an Option to the extent it has Vested. 

 

	 	4.4.2	 To validly exercise an Option, the Participant must give notice in writing, in any form prescribed by the
Committee, to the Grantor or any person nominated by the Grantor and pay any Option Price or make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Committee for its payment. 

 

	 	4.4.3	 As soon as reasonably practicable following the valid exercise of an Option, the Grantor will arrange (subject
to rules 4.7, 4.8, 6.3 and 9.5) for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised to be issued or transferred to, or to the order of, the Participant. 

 

	 	4.4.4	 The Option will lapse, at the latest, on the close of business on the Final Lapse Date. 

 

	 	4.4.5	 If an Option becomes exercisable or lapses under more than one provision of the rules of the Plan, the
provision resulting in the shortest exercise period or the earliest lapse will prevail. 

  

	4.5	 Consequences of Vesting for Restricted Shares 

With effect from the date of Vesting, the restrictions referred to in rule 2.4.3 and contained in the Award Agreement will cease to have
effect. Rule 4.8 will apply to any tax and social security contributions payable on Vesting. 
 If the Restricted Shares are not held by the
Participant, the Grantor will arrange for them to be transferred to or to the order of the Participant. 

  
 7 

	4.6	 Dividend Equivalent 

An RSU may include the right to receive a Dividend Equivalent which may be paid in cash or Shares (as determined from time to time by the
Committee). Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after Vesting or, in the case of Options, exercise. 
  

	4.7	 Cash alternative 

The Committee may in its sole discretion decide on exercise of an Option or Vesting of an RSU that no Shares will be issued or transferred but
that, instead, the Participant will be paid a cash amount equal to the market value of the Shares which would otherwise be issued or transferred on the date of exercise or Vesting (as the case may be), less the Option Price, in the case of an
Option. 
 A Phantom Option or a Phantom Award will always be satisfied in this way. 

 

	4.8	 Tax 

  

	 	4.8.1	 The Participant will be responsible for all tax, social security contributions or other levies arising out of
or in connection with an Award and indemnifies the Group against any liability they may have to pay or withhold such liabilities. 

  

	 	4.8.2	 Without limiting this, the Group, the Grantor, any employing company or trustee of any employee benefit trust
may withhold such amount and make such arrangements as it considers necessary to meet any such liability to taxation or social security contributions in respect of Awards. These arrangements may include: 

 

	 	(i)	 reducing the number of Shares or the amount of cash to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled under
the Plan; 

  

	 	(ii)	 selling Shares on behalf of the Participant and retaining the proceeds to meet the liability;

  

	 	(iii)	 to the extent lawful, deducting the amount of the liability from any payment of salary or bonus or any other
payment due to the Participant. 

  

	 	4.8.3	 The Participant will be responsible for obtaining his or her own tax advice agrees not to take (or omit to
take) any action in connection with any Award in reliance on any statement as to the tax treatment of any Award made (or purported to be made) by or on behalf of the Group. No member of the Group will be responsible for the tax treatment or any
change in the tax treatment of any Award. 

  

	 	4.8.4	 To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award may become subject to Section 409A of the Code,
the Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. In the event that following the Adoption Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related
Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Adoption Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Scheme or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies
and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to: 

  

	 	(i)	 exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits
provided with respect to the Award; or 

  
 8 

	 	(ii)	 comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance.

	    	 The events are: 

  

	 	5.3.1	 The Participant has left employment and the Committee exercises its discretion under rule 6 to allow the Award

	 	9.1.1	 This rule 9.1 applies during and after the employment of a Participant and after the termination, whether or
not the termination is lawful. 

  

	 	9.1.2	 Nothing in the rules or the operation of the Plan forms part of the contract of employment of a Participant.
The rights and obligations arising from the employment relationship between the Participant and the employer are separate from, and are not affected by, the Plan. Participation in the Plan does not create any right to, or expectation of, continued
employment. 

  

	 	9.1.3	 No Participant or eligible Employee has a right to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan or the
grant of Awards on a particular basis in any year does not create any right to or expectation of participation in the Plan or the grant of Awards on the same basis, or at all, in any future year. 

 

	 	9.1.4	 The terms of the Plan do not entitle the Participant to the exercise of any discretion in the
Participant’s favour. 

  

	 	9.1.5	 The Participant will have no claim or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or discretion, which
may operate to the disadvantage of the Participant even if it is unreasonable, irrational, capricious, arbitrary or might be regarded as being in breach of the duty of trust and confidence (and/or any other implied duty) between the Participant and
the employer. 

  

	 	9.1.6	 No Participant has any right to compensation for any loss in relation to the Plan, including any loss in
relation to: 

  

	 	(i)	 any loss or reduction of rights or expectations under the Plan in any circumstances (including lawful or
unlawful termination of employment); 

  

	 	(ii)	 any exercise of a discretion or a decision taken in relation to an Award or to the Plan, or any failure to
exercise a discretion or take a decision; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the operation, suspension, termination or amendment of the Plan. 

  
 12 

	9.2	 Committee’ decisions final and binding 

The decision of the Committee on the interpretation of the Plan or in any dispute relating to an Award or matter relating to the Plan will be
final and conclusive. 
  

	9.3	 Documents sent to shareholders 

The Company is not required to send to Participants copies of any documents or notices normally sent to the holders of its Shares. 

 

	9.4	 Costs 

The Company will pay the costs of introducing and administering the Plan. The Company may ask a Participant’s employer to bear the costs
in respect of an Award to that Participant. 
  

	9.5	 Consents 

All allotments, issues and transfers of Shares will be subject to any necessary consents under any relevant enactments or regulations for the
time being in force in any country. The Participant is responsible for complying with any requirements to obtain or avoid the necessity for any such consent. 
  

	9.6	 Share rights 

Shares issued to satisfy Awards under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment. They will
not rank for any rights attaching to Shares by reference to a record date preceding the date of allotment. Where Shares are transferred to a Participant, including a transfer out of treasury, the Participant will be entitled to all rights attaching
to the Shares by reference to a record date on or after the transfer date. The Participant will not be entitled to rights before that date. 
  

	9.7	 Data protection 

By participating in the Plan the Participant consents to the holding and processing of personal information provided by the Participant to the
Group, trustee or third party service provider, for all purposes relating to the operation of the Plan. These include, but are not limited to: 
  

	 	9.7.1	 administering and maintaining Participant records; 

 

	 	9.7.2	 providing information to the Group, trustees of any employee benefit trust, registrars, brokers or third party
administrators of the Plan; 

  

	 	9.7.3	 providing information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company, the Participant’s employing
company, or the business in which the Participant works; 

  

	 	9.7.4	 transferring information about the Participant to a country or territory outside the Participant’s home
country that may not provide the same statutory protection for the information as that country. 

 The Participant is
entitled, on payment of a fee, to a copy of the personal information held about him or her in connection with the Plan. If anything is inaccurate the Participant has the right to have it corrected. 

  
 13 

	9.8	 Notices 

  

	 	9.8.1	 Any information or notice to a person who is or will be eligible to be a Participant under or in connection
with the Plan may be posted, or sent by electronic means, in such manner to such address as the Company considers appropriate, including publication on any intranet. 

 

	 	9.8.2	 Any information or notice to the Company or other duly appointed agent under or in connection with the Plan may
be sent by post or transmitted to it at its registered office or such other place, and by such other means, as the Committee or duly appointed agent may decide and notify Participants. 

 

	 	9.8.3	 Notices sent by post will be deemed to have been given on the second day after the date of posting. However,
notices sent by or to a Participant who is working overseas will be deemed to have been given on the seventh day after the date of posting. Notices sent by electronic means, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, will be deemed to have been
received on the day after sending. 

  

	9.9	 Governing law and jurisdiction 

The Plan and any Award operate subject to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and any applicable law to which the Company
is subject. The Plan and any Award granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

	 	4.1.3	 the first date on which Vesting is not prevented by a Transfer Restriction. 

However, the Committee may in its sole discretion, at any time, decide that the Award will Vest on any earlier date and/or waive any
Performance Condition. 

  
 6 

	4.2	 Delayed Vesting 

Vesting is delayed in respect of a Participant’s Award, or any part of it, if any of the following circumstances apply on the anticipated
date of Vesting: 
  

	 	4.2.1	 if the Participant is subject to any Disciplinary Action; 

 

	 	4.2.2	 if the Participant’s employment has terminated or is about to terminate in circumstances where it
is not clear whether the Award should lapse under rule 6; or 

  

	 	4.2.3	 the Committee consider that it is necessary or appropriate to defer Vesting. 

In these cases, Vesting will not occur unless and until the Committee determine that the Award should Vest. 

“Disciplinary Action” for the purpose of this rule 4.2 (Delayed Vesting), means any enquiry or investigation by the Group into
the conduct, capability or performance of a Participant that may potentially lead to disciplinary action being taken against that Participant, and/or any disciplinary procedure (whether in accordance with any relevant contractual obligation, policy
or otherwise) that has been commenced by any member of the Group against a Participant; 
  

	4.3	 Consequences of Vesting for RSUs 

As soon as reasonably practicable following Vesting of an RSU, the Grantor will arrange (subject to rules 4.7, 4.8, 6.3 and 9.5) for the number
of Shares in respect of which the Award has Vested to be issued or transferred to, or to the order of, the Participant. 
  

	4.4	 Consequences of Vesting for Options 

 

	 	4.4.1	 A Participant may only exercise an Option to the extent it has Vested. 

 

	 	4.4.2	 To validly exercise an Option, the Participant must give notice in writing, in any form prescribed by
the Committee, to the Grantor or any person nominated by the Grantor and pay any Option Price or make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Committee for its payment. 

 

	 	4.4.3	 As soon as reasonably practicable following the valid exercise of an Option, the Grantor will arrange
(subject to rules 4.7, 4.8, 6.3 and 9.5) for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised to be issued or transferred to, or to the order of, the Participant. 

 

	 	4.4.4	 The Option will lapse, at the latest, on the close of business on the Final Lapse Date.

  

	 	4.4.5	 If an Option becomes exercisable or lapses under more than one provision of the rules of the Scheme, the
provision resulting in the shortest exercise period or the earliest lapse will prevail. 

  

	4.5	 Consequences of Vesting for Restricted Shares 

With effect from the date of Vesting, the restrictions referred to in rule 2.4.3 and contained in the Award Agreement will cease to have
effect. Rule 4.8 will apply to any tax and social security contributions payable on Vesting. 
 If the Restricted Shares are not held by the
Participant, the Grantor will arrange for them to be transferred to or to the order of the Participant. 

  
 7 

	4.6	 Dividend Equivalent 

An RSU may include the right to receive a Dividend Equivalent which may be paid in cash or Shares (as determined from time to time by the
Committee). Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after Vesting or, in the case of Options, exercise. 
  

	4.7	 Cash alternative 

The Committee may in its sole discretion decide on exercise of an Option or Vesting of an RSU that no Shares will be issued or transferred but
that, instead, the Participant will be paid a cash amount equal to the market value of the Shares which would otherwise be issued or transferred on the date of exercise or Vesting (as the case may be), less the Option Price, in the case of an
Option. 
 A Phantom Option or a Phantom Award will always be satisfied in this way. 

 

	4.8	 Tax 

  

	 	4.8.1	 The Participant will be responsible for all tax, social security contributions or other levies arising
out of or in connection with an Award and indemnifies the Group against any liability they may have to pay or withhold such liabilities. 

  

	 	4.8.2	 Without limiting this, the Group, the Grantor, any employing company or trustee of any employee benefit
trust may withhold such amount and make such arrangements as it considers necessary to meet any such liability to taxation or social security contributions in respect of Awards. These arrangements may include: 

 

	 	(i)	 reducing the number of Shares or the amount of cash to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled under
the Scheme; 

  

	 	(ii)	 selling Shares on behalf of the Participant and retaining the proceeds to meet the liability;

  

	 	(iii)	 to the extent lawful, deducting the amount of the liability from any payment of salary or bonus or any other
payment due to the Participant. 

  

	 	4.8.3	 The Participant will be responsible for obtaining his or her own tax advice agrees not to take (or omit
to take) any action in connection with any Award in reliance on any statement as to the tax treatment of any Award made (or purported to be made) by or on behalf of the Group. No member of the Group will be responsible for the tax treatment or any
change in the tax treatment of any Award. 

  
 8 

	 	4.8.4	 To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award may become subject to Section 409A of
the Code, the Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. In the event that following the Adoption Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and
related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Adoption Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Scheme or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments,
policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to: 

  

	 	(i)	 exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits
provided with respect to the Award; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance.

  

	5	 Reduction or clawback of Awards 

 

	5.1	 Reduction

	 	5.2.3	 pay to or to the order of the Company an amount equal to any cash payment made to them pursuant to the
Award. 

  

	5.3	 Events giving rise to reduction or clawback 

The events are: 
  

	 	5.3.1	 The Participant has left employment and the Committee exercises its discretion under rule 6 to allow the
Award not to lapse in full but facts emerge which, if known, would have caused the Committee to exercise its discretion differently (or not exercise it).

whether or not the termination is lawful. 

  

	 	9.1.2	 Nothing in the rules or the operation of the Scheme forms part of the contract of employment of a
Participant. The rights and obligations arising from the employment relationship between the Participant and the employer are separate from, and are not affected by, the Scheme. Participation in the Scheme does not create any right to, or
expectation of, continued employment. 

  

	 	9.1.3	 No Participant or eligible Employee has a right to participate in the Scheme. Participation in the
Scheme or the grant of Awards on a particular basis in any year does not create any right to or expectation of participation in the Scheme or the grant of Awards on the same basis, or at all, in any future year.

Participant’s favour. 

  

	 	9.1.5	 The Participant will have no claim or right of action in respect of any decision, omission or

the Participant and the employer. 

  

	 	9.1.6	 No Participant has any right to compensation for any loss in relation to the Scheme, including any loss
in relation to:

time being in force in any country. The Participant is responsible for complying with any requirements to obtain or avoid the necessity for any such consent. 
  

	9.6	 Share rights 

Shares issued to satisfy Awards under the Scheme will rank equally in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment. They will
not rank for any rights attaching to Shares by reference to a record date preceding the date of allotment. Where Shares are transferred to a Participant, including a transfer out of treasury, the Participant will be entitled to all rights attaching
to the Shares by reference to a record date on or after the transfer date. The Participant will not be entitled to rights before that date.

party administrators of the Scheme; 

  

	 	9.7.3	 providing information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company, the Participant’s
employing company, or the business in which the Participant works; 

  

	 	9.7.4	 transferring information about the Participant to a country or territory outside the Participant’s
home country that may not provide the same statutory protection for the information as that country. 

 The Participant is
entitled, on payment of a fee, to a copy of the personal information held about him or her in connection with the Scheme. If anything is inaccurate the Participant has the right to have it corrected.
