The Group’s success depends upon the sourcing of attractive investment opportunities and the improvement of the performance of any businesses that are acquired. Accordingly, an incentive scheme 4 (the S Limited Scheme, or the Incentive Share scheme) was created to reward key contributors for the creation of value through the use of Incentive Shares. Sir Martin Sorrell subscribed for A2 Incentive Shares in May 2018 and Scott Spirit was granted an option to subscribe for A1 Incentive Shares in January 2020. The terms of these awards are set out in the table below.

Scott Spirit also has an option to subscribe for up to an additional 666 A1 Incentive Shares in the event of the issue of any further Incentive Shares by the Directors. The purpose of this additional award is to ensure that his interest in the Incentive Shares is maintained at the same level (5%) in the event of the issue of further Incentive Shares. There were no new Scheme interests awarded during the year ended 31 December 2021. 4 The Directors of S Limited have the authority to issue a further 2,000 A1 Incentive shares.
