Further remuneration information
Dilution
All awards are made under plans that incorporate dilution limits as set out in the guidelines for share incentive schemes published by the Association
of British Insurers. The current estimated dilution from subsisting executive awards is approximately 3.2% of the Company’s share capital at 31 March
2014 (2.0% at 31 March 2013), whilst from all-employee share awards it is approximately 0.6% (0.3% at 31 March 2013). This gives a total dilution
of 3.8% (2.3%at 31 March 2013).
Service contracts
The terms and conditions of appointment of our directors are available for inspection at the Company’s registered ofce during normal business
hours and at the AGM (for 15 minutes prior to the meeting and during the meeting). The executive directors have notice periods in their service
contracts of 12 months. The non-executive directors’ letters of appointment do not contain provision for notice periods or for compensation if their
appointments are terminated.
The executive directors will be proposed for election or re-election at the 2014 AGM.
