Full details of the plans will be published within the Company's Annual Report 2014 on 31 March 2015.

Deferred Share Bonus Plan Awards

The purpose of the DSBP is to facilitate the deferral of all or part of the Senior Leadership Team's annual bonus into Ordinary Shares.  Awards will normally vest three years after grant, provided the participant is still employed in the Company's group. DSBP awards will not be subject to performance conditions.  On vesting, awards in the form of nil (or nominal) options will normally be exercisable up to the tenth anniversary of grant unless they lapse earlier

The following DSBP awards have been granted to the following executive directors and other PDMRs on 18 March 2015 (these grants took place at Reliance House, Sun Pier, Chatham, Kent ME4 4ET):

These DSBP awards vest on 18 March 2018

Performance Share Plan Awards

Any employee of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to participate in the PSP at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.  Awards will be made to Executive Directors and the Senior Leadership team, based on a mixture of internal financial performance targets and relative Total Shareholder Return.  Any vesting will be subject to an underpin, whereby the Remuneration Committee must be satisfied that the business has operated within the Board's risk appetite framework. This takes into account capital adequacy, liquidity, credit risk, operational risk and conduct & compliance risk.  The performance targets will be measured over three financial years.  Clawback and malus provisions apply and are structured as for the annual bonus.

The following PSP awards have been granted to the following executive directors and other PDMRs on 18 March 2015 (these grants took place at Reliance House, Sun Pier, Chatham, Kent ME4 4ET):
