Executive directors' remuneration during 2010
The Committee reviews the structure of the executive directors'
remuneration packages annually to satisfy itself that the balance
between fixed and variable remuneration and short-term and
long-term incentives and rewards remains appropriate. The overall
make-up of the remuneration packages for the executive directors in
2010 was as follows:

The following diagrams show the breakdown of the executive
directors' total remuneration arrangements during 2010 (excluding
restricted share award releases):
Short-term incentive targets for performance year 2010
The payment of short-term incentives is subject to the
achievement of pre-determined financial targets and personal
objectives based on the key deliverables for each executive
director, as reviewed and approved each year by the Committee.
Details of the structure and outcomes of the metrics for Julian
Roberts' and Philip Broadley's short-term incentives for 2010 are

Performance targets applicable to share incentives
2008 - Share Options and Bonus-Matching Restricted Share
Awards
| Target 1 |
Target 2 |
Target 3 |
| For bonus-matching restricted
share awards and tier 1 of share option awards (up to 100% of base
salary) |
For tier 2 of share option awards
(between 100% and 200% of base salary) |
For tier 3 of share option awards
(above 200% of base salary) |
| Growth in IFRS EPS must exceed
growth in UK RPI by at least 9% over the three-year vesting
period |
Growth in IFRS EPS must exceed
growth in UK RPI by at least 12% over the three-year vesting
period |
Growth in IFRS EPS must exceed
growth in UK RPI by at least 15% over the three-year vesting
period |
The IFRS EPS-based targets attached to the share options and the
bonus-matching restricted share awards granted in 2008 were not met
and the options and restricted share awards therefore lapsed on 8
March 2011.
2009 - Bonus-Matching and Joining Restricted Share Awards
One third of each award vests on attainment of the Return on
Average Equity (RoAE) and real growth in adjusted operating profit
IFRS earnings per share (EPS) targets at each tier as set out
below, with pro-rata vesting between tiers, after tier one has been
attained. Targets are tested on a once-only basis after three years
from the year prior to the grant and any award or part thereof that
does not vest then lapses.
The targets are set out in the table below:
RoAE

Tier 1 |
Tier 2 |
Tier 3 |

* Growth will be calculated by the value of £100 invested as
follows:
- £33.33 in the FTSE100 index - average price over Q4 2008
- £66.67 in the JSE ALSI index - average price over Q4 2008
against the value of that investment in £ calculated by
reference to the average price (converted into £, in the case of
the JSE ALSI component, by reference to the average daily exchange
rates for the period) on the respective indices over Q4 2011. The
choice of criteria was intended to reflect the principal stock
markets with which the Group's results are substantially
correlated.
2010 - OMSIP
OMSIP replaced the long-term incentive awards for the executive
directors and certain other senior members of management in 2010,
following its approval by shareholders at the 2010 AGM.
Accordingly, the 2010 OMSIP award was made in two parts. The
first part is based on rationalising objectives and the second on
key financial objectives in relation to the restructuring of the
Group. The targets for these awards are set out below:
Rationalising Objectives
| Component |
Objective |
Measurements |
| Significant rationalising
initiatives |
Rationalise the Group by
achieving strategic initiatives in accordance with the Group's
strategy statement to streamline the Group, unlock value and reduce
debt |
Based on Committee evaluation of
the following three factors:
1. Total value released relative to available benchmark
transactions
2. Quality of execution including risk, reputation and other
non-financial impacts
3. Amount available to reduce debt from the proceeds of
rationalisation |
At the end of the three-year measurement period, the Committee
will assess the sum of the evaluations of the individual
initiatives when determining total achievement of this component
and may exercise its discretion to reduce the vesting level of the
award when factoring in total achievement toward debt reduction and
any new information arising which suggests a different performance
assessment.
The Committee believes that these measures provide a balanced
approach to assessing the success of implementing the strategic
plan, underlying financial performance of the future business, and
delivery of shareholder value. The Committee also believes that
these measures give it the time and discretion to judge performance
with the benefit of additional information emerging during the
whole of the performance period.
Following the sale of the US Life business, which is currently
expected to take place shortly after the date of this report, the
Committee will carry out a full review and calculation of the
impact of that transaction for the purposes of the related OMSIP
rationalising objective and details of its conclusions will be
disclosed in next year's Remuneration Report.
