The core performance measures underpinning the vesting of awards under the LTIP are the delivery of:

   --      at least 20% per annum cumulative TSR growth up to a maximum of 30% for full vesting; 

-- a minimum threshold of cumulative EBITDA of GBP11 million in the final year of the scheme. The maximum threshold is achieved with a cumulative EBITDA of GBP12.5 million or above and in the final year of the scheme and

-- continued improvement on ESG metrics from the 2022 LTIP including reducing CO (2,) , setting new targets for our workforce to reflect the ethnic and gender population of Milton Keynes, our main HO base, and having a positive social impact on the communities where the Group trades by working towards regular employee volunteering commitments as well as our regular financial commitment through our charity PACT (Personal Assurance Charitable Trust).

Full details across the Group's ESG targets and performance can be found within the Company's annual report.
