Inputs to the models for equity instruments granted during the year A Monte Carlo Simulation model was used to value equity-settled share-based payment awards in the past. Since the last equity-settled
awards were made in 2019, there are no new valuation inputs to disclose.
At each reporting date, vesting date and settlement date, the liability for the cash payment relating to the FSUs, CSUs and MSUs awarded is
measured/remeasured at fair value. A Monte Carlo Simulation model is used to value cash-settled share-based payment awards. The
inputs to the valuation model for share awards granted were as follows:
