Vesting of awards made to executive directors will depend on relative total shareholder return performance against two comparator groups. For one-third of the award, the comparator group will be the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 constituents (excluding financial institutions) and for two-thirds of the award the comparator group will be a group of international companies from the pharmaceutical sector. In addition, before awards granted to executive directors will vest, the Remuneration Committee must be satisfied that the underlying performance of the Company is sufficient to justify this. Where median performance is achieved, 33 1/3 per cent of stock-settled share appreciation rights will vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting at upper quartile performance.<br /><br />Awards granted to employees below executive director level are not subject to market conditions, and are only subject to service conditions. <br /><br />Once awards have vested, participants will have until the fifth anniversary of the date of grant to exercise their awards.<br /><br />(b) Shire Sharesave Scheme (Sharesave Scheme)<br /><br />Options granted under the Sharesave Scheme are granted with an exercise price equal to 80% of the mid-market price on the day before invitations are issued to employees. Employees may enter into three or five-year savings contracts. No performance conditions apply.<br /><br />(c) Shire Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Stock Purchase Plan)<br /><br />Under the Stock Purchase Plan, options are granted with an exercise price equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share on the enrolment date (the first day of the offering period) or the exercise date (the last day of the offering period), whichever is the lower. Employees agree to save for a period up to 27 months. No performance conditions apply.<br /><br />(d) Legacy plans – Principally the Shire 2000 Executive Share Option Scheme <br /><br />Options granted under this scheme were subject to certain performance criteria, which were based on the Company’s share price or diluted EPS growth compared to a fixed growth rate.

In respect of any award made to executive directors market conditions will be based on relative total shareholder return. Vesting will depend on relative total shareholder return performance against two comparator groups. For one-third of an award, the comparator group will be the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 constituents (excluding financial institutions) and for two-thirds of the award the comparator group will be a group of international companies from the pharmaceutical sector. In addition, before awards granted to executive directors will vest, the Committee must be satisfied that the underlying performance of the Company is sufficient to justify this. Where median performance is achieved, 33 1/3 per cent of performance shares will vest, rising on a straight-line basis to full vesting at upper quartile performance.<br />Awards granted to employees below executive director level are not subject to market conditions, and are only subject to service conditions.<br />A summary of the status of the Company’s performance share awards as at December 31, 2009 and of the related transactions during the periods then ended is presented below:<br /></p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="51" width="391" align="left"><b>Performance share awards </b></td><td height="51" width="28" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="51" width="103" align="right"><b>Number of shares</b></td><td height="51" width="103" align="right"><b>Aggregate intrinsic value £’M</b></td><td height="51" width="103" align="right"><b>Weighted average remaining life</b></td></tr><tr><td height="10" width="391" align="left"> </td><td height="10" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="10" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="10" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="10" width="103" align="right">_______________</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left">Outstanding as at beginning of period</td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> 3,232,727 </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left">Granted</td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> 2,749,533 </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left">Exercised</td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">(588,233)</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left">Expired</td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">(184,406)</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td height="23" width="391" align="left">Outstanding as at end of period</td><td height="23" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="23" width="103" align="right"> 5,209,621 </td><td height="23" width="103" align="right">50.4 </td><td height="23" width="103" align="right">1.6 </td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">________________</td></tr><tr><td height="12" width="391" align="right"> </td><td height="12" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="12" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="12" width="103" align="right">_______________</td><td height="12" width="103" align="right">_______________</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="left"> </td></tr><tr><td width="728" align="left" height="17" colspan="5">The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance share awards granted in the year to December 31, 2009 is £8.83.</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="391" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="28" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="left"> </td></tr></table><p>Exercises of employee share-based awards<br /><br />The total intrinsic values of share-based awards exercised for the years to December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $43.8 million, $23.8 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The total cash received from employees as a result of employee share option exercises for the period to December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $14.6 million, $11.4 million and $30.4 million, respectively. In connection with these exercises, the excess tax benefit/(deficit) credited/(charged) to additional paid-in capital for the period to December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $16.8 million credit, $3.8 million charge and $nil respectively.<br /><br />The Company will settle future employee share award exercises with either newly listed common shares or with shares held in an ESOT. The number of shares to be purchased by the ESOT during 2010 will be dependent on the number of employee share awards granted and exercised during the year and Shire plc’s share price. At December 31, 2009 the ESOT held 5.8 million ordinary shares and 4.0 million ADSs.<br /><br />Valuation methodologies<br /><br />The Company estimates the fair value of its share-based awards using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of share–based awards include the grant price of the award, the expected stock-based award term, volatility of the Company’s share, the risk-free rate and the Company’s dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair values of Shire’s stock-based awards. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company under guidance issued by the FASB on share based payment transactions.<br /><br />The fair value of share awards granted was estimated using the following assumptions:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="17" width="414" align="left"><b>Period ended December 31, </b></td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"><b>2009 </b></td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"><b>2008 </b></td><td height="17" width="103" align="right"><b>2007 </b></td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="414" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">______________</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">______________</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">______________</td></tr><tr><td height="19" width="414" align="left">Risk-free interest rate(1)</td><td height="19" width="103" align="right">0.5-2.7%</td><td height="19" width="103" align="right">1.3-5.3%</td><td height="19" width="103" align="right">3.4-5.35%</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="414" align="left">Expected dividend yield</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">0-0.7%</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">0-0.5%</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">0-0.5%</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="414" align="left">Expected life</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">3-4 years</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">3-4 years</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">3-4 years</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="414" align="left">Weighted average volatility</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">33% </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">29% </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">27% </td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="414" align="left">Forfeiture rate</td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">5% </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">5% </td><td height="17" width="103" align="right">5% </td></tr></table><p>(1) Risk free interest rate is for UK and US grants<br /><br />The following assumptions were used to value share-based awards:<br /></p><ul><li>risk-free interest rate – For awards granted over ADSs, the US Federal Reserve treasury constant maturities rate with a term consistent with the expected life of the award is used.
