SCHEDULE 1

PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS

The Vesting of the Award is subject to the satisfaction of the Performance Conditions set out in this Schedule 1 as of the Vesting Date.

The Performance Conditions are made up of two elements:

• A condition relating to certain financial measures of performance, which are measured over the period of three years from <date> to <date>, and which are set out in Section 1 below (the “Performance Measures”), and

• A condition relating to continued employment, which is measured over the period up to the Vesting Date, <date>, as set out in Section 2 below (the “Continued Employment Condition”).

For the purpose of determining the Performance Measures, the Award is divided into three tranches, each with its own performance test. These are:

• The EBITDA Tranche,

• The Net Sales Tranche, and

• The Share Price Tranche.

Each Tranche will only Vest (a) if, and to the extent that, the Performance Measure applying to that Tranche as set out in Section 1 below has been satisfied and (b) if the Continued Employment Condition has been satisfied.

1. PERFORMANCE MEASURES

1.1    EBITDA Tranche

The EBITDA Tranche is comprised of one third of the total number of Award Shares specified in Clause 2.1 of the Agreement (the “EBITDA Shares”). The performance test which applies to the EBITDA Tranche relates to cumulative adjusted EBITDA between <date> and <date> (the “EBITDA Test”). As soon as reasonably practicable after <date> the Company’s cumulative adjusted EBITDA for the period <date> and <date> will be determined by the Committee. The percentage of EBITDA Shares which will Vest (subject to the Continued Employment Condition) shall be determined based on Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the period <date> and <date>, in accordance with the following table:

Cumulative Adjusted EBITDA for the period <date> to <date>	Percentage of EBITDA Shares that will Vest
Less than EUR xxx mio	x%
At least EUR xxx mio, but less than EUR xxx mio	x%
EUR xxx mio	x%
More than EUR xxx mio, but less than EUR xxx mio	x%
EUR xxx mio or more	x%

In addition, the following will apply to the EBITDA Tranche:

(i) the EBITDA Test must be achieved, if at all, as at <date> and, therefore, cannot be achieved before that date;

(ii) in assessing whether the EBITDA Test has been achieved, the Committee may use such accounting methods, assumptions, guidance and principles as it in its reasonable discretion sees fit;

(iii) the EBITDA Test may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect any acquisitions or divestitures by the Company after the date of this Agreement (based on business case assumptions minus synergies in years x-x); and

(iv) “cumulative adjusted EBITDA” may be adjusted and calculated in a way which is consistent with how the Company reports (or plans to report) to the public and should there be a change in the way the Company so reports, EBITDA will be adjusted equitably to reflect the changes.

1.2    Net Sales Tranche

The Net Sales Tranche is comprised of one third of the total number of Award Shares specified in Clause 2.1 of the Agreement (the “Net Sales Shares”). The performance test which applies to the Net Sales Tranche relates to cumulative Net Sales between <date> and <date> (the “Net Sales Test”). As soon as reasonably practicable after <date> the Company’s cumulative Net Sales for the period <date> and <date> will be determined by the Committee. The percentage of Net Sales Shares which will Vest (subject to the Continued Employment Condition) shall be determined based on Cumulative Net Sales for the period <date> and <date>, in accordance with the following table:

Cumulative Net Sales for the period <date> to <date>	Percentage of Net Sales Shares that will Vest
Less than EUR xxx mio	x%
At least EUR xxx mio, but less than EUR xxx mio	x%
EUR xxx mio	x%
More than EUR xxx mio, but less than EUR xxx mio	Increasing on a straight- line basis between x% and x%
EUR xxx mio or more	x%

1.3    Share Price Tranche

The Share Price Tranche is comprised of one third of the total number of Award Shares specified in Clause 2.1 of the Agreement (the “Share Price Shares”). The performance test which applies to the Share Price Tranche relates to the Company’s share price performance between <date> and <date> (the “Share Price Test”). The percentage of Share Price Shares that will Vest (subject to the Continued Employment Condition) will be based on the VWAP of the ordinary shares of the Company reaching one of the Share Price Thresholds specified in the table below for a continuous period of x trading days between <date> and <date>, on in accordance with the following table:

Share Price Vesting Threshold	Percentage of Share Price Shares that will vest
Less than $x	x%
$x	x%
$x	x%
$x	x%

For this purpose:

1. The “Share Price Vesting Threshold” is the level of the VWAP of the ordinary shares of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Company maintains its principal listing) which must be exceeded for a continuous period of at least x trading days during the Measurement Period in order for the specified percentage of Third Tranche Award Shares to Vest.

2. “VWAP” means, as of any date or relevant period, as applicable, the volume weighted average price for an ordinary share of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Company maintains its principal listing) as reported by Bloomberg through its “Volume at Price” function (or such other data reporting service as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion); provided however, if the ordinary shares of the Company do not trade on any exchange, the VWAP will be the last closing trade price of an ordinary share of the Company in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for that security as reported by Bloomberg (and if no last closing trade price is reported for an ordinary share of the Company by Bloomberg, the last closing ask price of an ordinary share of the Company as reported by Bloomberg). If the VWAP cannot be calculated for an ordinary share of the Company on that date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of an ordinary share of the Company on such date will be the fair market value as determined by the Committee.

1.4    Adjustments to the Performance Measures

If an event occurs which, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, means that a Performance Measure is no longer appropriate, the Committee may vary or waive that Performance Measure, provided that the varied Performance Measure is (in the reasonable opinion of the Committee) a fairer measure of performance than the original Performance Measure, as judged at the time of the variation, and no more difficult to satisfy than the original Performance Measure was at the Grant Date.

2.    CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT CONDITION

2.1 The relevant portion Award that would vest based on the Performance Measures will Vest only if you are a director or employee of a Group Company on the Vesting Date and are not then under notice of termination of office or employment (whether given by you, your employer or any other Group Company), unless the Committee determines in its absolute discretion to allow the Award to Vest notwithstanding that you are no longer a director or employee of a Group

Company on the Vesting Date or that notice has been given (but, in each case, subject always to the satisfaction of the relevant Performance Measures).

2.2 The Award will lapse if you voluntarily cease to be a director or employee of a Group Company between <date> and the Vesting Date, unless the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Human Resources Director (or the Committee in the case of Board Members) determine in their absolute discretion to allow the Award to continue to exist and to Vest on the Vesting Date (subject always to the satisfaction of the relevant Performance Measures).

1.5 If the Committee makes a determination in relation to an Award under this paragraph 1, it must do so within three years of the Vesting Date.

2. OPERATION OF CLAWBACK

2.1 This paragraph 2 applies to an Award if paragraph 1 applies to the Award.

2.2 If at the end of the determination under paragraph 1.4, the Award has Vested, the Committee may determine a Clawback Amount in relation to the Award.

2.3 The Clawback Amount shall be such amount as the Committee considers to be fair and reasonable, taking account of all circumstances that the Committee considers to be relevant.

2.4 If you have paid or are liable to pay any amount of a Tax and Social Security Liability which cannot be recovered from or repaid by any relevant tax authority (whether directly or indirectly), the Committee may in its discretion decide to, or where paragraph 1.3 applies, will, reduce the Clawback Amount to take account of this amount. In deciding whether to reduce the Clawback Amount, the Committee shall take account of such factors as it thinks fit, which may include market practice, corporate governance rules and guidelines, and the expectations of shareholders.

2.5 For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee is not obliged to determine a Clawback Amount in relation to any particular Award, even if the Committee does determine a Clawback Amount in relation to other Awards to the same or other holders of Awards which were granted or which Vested on the same date or dates.

(c) by requiring you to make a cash payment to a Group Company; or

(d) by reducing your salary.

2.7 If you participate in another share incentive plan or bonus plan operated by a Group Company, and that other plan contains a provision that has a similar effect to paragraph 1, the Committee may give effect to that provision by causing the Award to lapse for no consideration in respect of such number of Award Shares (up to the total number of Award Shares) as the Committee considers to be fair and reasonable.
