2015 LTIP

The 2015 LTIP was approved by shareholders on 15 December 2015. Its rules are summarised on pages 325 to 329 of the prospectus published on 15 November 2015. The key terms of the scheme are:

1. The total number of options allowed to be granted cannot exceed 10% of the issued share capital at the time of grant
2. The options attract a dividend credit
3. The grant price cannot be less than the market value of the shares at the time of grant
4. Performance conditions apply - a comparator of TSR against the FTSE250
5. The scheme has a 10 year life

On 1 May 2018, the following awards were outstanding:

1. The Company has granted this option under the exemption to Listing Rule 9.4.1 contained in Listing Rule 9.4.2 (2). The rules governing the option are identical to the rules of the GVC 2016 Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") except in respect of the latter's eligibility provision and the rules of the MIP are identical to the 2015 LTIP practically in all key respects.

2. Due to certain limitations associated with the grant of options to individuals subject to U.S. federal income taxes, Lee Feldman's Option is granted at a higher exercise price which represents the market value of the Shares as of the date at which the scheme became effective, being, £4.67. In order to compensate Lee Feldman for the higher exercise price, the Company has agreed to pay him a cash bonus of £1,979,567 (being £4.67 less £4.22 multiplied by 4,399,037 (the original number of shares under option)). This cash bonus is to be paid over the 30-month vesting period of the option, but only upon vesting and satisfaction of the performance condition described below. Mr Feldman has agreed to invest 50% of the after tax proceeds of the bonus in Shares.
