Note 1: The number of shares shown represents the maximum number of shares that may vest, subject to any performance conditions being met.

Note 2: No variations to the terms and conditions of plan interests were made during the year.

Note 3: The performance and other conditions that apply to outstanding awards under the annual bonus share matching plan and the long-term incentive plan and that have yet to be met were set out in the reports on directors’ remuneration for the years in which they were granted.

Note 4: In the case of the long-term incentive plan awards made on 4 March 2008, we detail separately the part of the award based on ROIC and EPS growth (two-thirds of total award) and that part based on relative TSR (one-third of total award), because vesting of that part of the awards based on TSR was not known at the date of the 2010 report.

Note 5: The performance condition for the long-term incentive award made in 2003 was the Pearson share price.
