MALUS AND CLAWBACK Under the annual bonus and the LTIP, the Remuneration Committee retains discretion to apply malus and clawback in the exceptional circumstances specified in the applicable plan documentation. Such circumstances include: • A material misstatement in the published results of the Group. • An error in the methodology for calculating the award level, the performance or vesting outcome which resulted in an overpayment to the participant. • Misconduct on the part of the Executive Director concerned. • Corporate failure. The malus and clawback provisions may be invoked for a period of two years following payment or vesting, a timeframe which reflects the period over which the Company’s processes and systems are likely to uncover any of these trigger events. Where the Remuneration Committee determines that malus and/or clawback will apply, the Remuneration Committee has full discretion to determine the basis of application and the means by which the provisions will be implemented. There was no application of malus or clawback during the reporting period.
