after the date of grant. 
 
Performance conditions 
 
1.       Adjusted Earnings Per Share Target 
 
Up to 66.7% of the total LTIP awards will vest on the achievement of total 
adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") for the three financial years ending 31 
December 2020, 2021 and 2022 (the "Performance Condition Period") as shown in 
the following table: 
 
  Total EPS for the three financial     Max. No. of Ordinary Shares vesting 
years ending 31 Dcember 2020, 2021 and       subject to the EPS Target 
         2022 ("EPS Target") 
 
             Below 523.4p                            No vesting 
 
                523.4p                        25% of total LTIP award 
 
                586.0p                        100% of total LTIP award 
 
Achievement of the EPS Target between 523.4p and 586.0p will result in the LTIP 
awards vesting on a straight-line basis and any entitlement to a fraction of an 
Ordinary Share shall be rounded down. 
 
2.       Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") Target 
 
Up to 33.3% of the total Awards will vest dependent upon the performance of the 
Company's TSR measured against that of the FTSE250 over the Performance 
Condition Period. 25% of the total LTIP award will vest at median performance 
with 100% of the total LTIP award vesting at the 80th percentile.  Vesting 
between these points will be measured on a straight-line basis. 
 
The Remuneration Committee notes that the XP Power closing share price at 31 
December 2019 was GBP31.00 and on 3 March 2020, the date of the publication of 
the final results for 2019, the share price was GBP32.50. The closing share price 
on 21 April 2020, which was used to calculate the number of LTIP and Restricted 
Share awards, was GBP30.90. 
 
The LTIP contains provisions giving the Remuneration Committee the ability to 
apply discretion to adjust any formulae and workings to reduce vesting levels 
if this is deemed necessary to ensure pay-outs fully and properly reflect 
overall performance and shareholder experience and in response to exceptional 
negative events. Malus and clawback provisions as set out in the Company's 
Remuneration Policy are also in place to reduce or recover the awards.
