**            On the same date, each of these participants were granted a tax qualifying option (“CSOP Option”) as part of the above award under the Company’s LTIP over 12,043 shares at a per share exercise price of 249.1p. Each CSOP Option is subject to the same performance targets as apply to the nil-cost option part of the awards. If a CSOP Option is exercised at a gain, the number of shares that may be delivered under the above associated nil-cost option under the LTIP will be reduced at exercise by the same value to ensure that the total pre-tax value of the original LTIP award delivered to the participant is not increased by the grant of the CSOP Option.
