As set out in the 2018 Annual Report, in light of the disposal of the entire US business, the Remuneration Committee was not in a position to confirm performance targets for the FY19 PSP awards in December 2018. The EPS, ROIC and relative TSR targets (and peer group) have been finalised and are set out below. The targets are felt to be appropriately stretching and represent a similar level of difficulty to those applied historically.
