The above awards have been made in the form of nil cost options which will become exercisable on 11 May 2020, subject to continuous employment. Payment of the bonus for Benny Higgins has been deferred until the conclusion of the regulatory review into last year's fraud incident at Tesco Bank.
In the event that dividends are paid in the period between grant and exercise of nil cost options, the number of shares in each case will be increased to reflect the dividends that would have accrued had they been reinvested in shares.
The nil cost options granted under the EIP and GBP contribute towards the shareholding guidelines for Executive Directors and Executive Committee members which are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report of the Tesco PLC Annual Report and Financial Statements 2017 ("Directors' Remuneration Report").

In the event that dividends are paid in the period between grant and exercise of nil cost options, or the grant and release of conditional shares, the number of shares in each case will be increased to reflect the dividends that would have accrued had they been reinvested in shares.
