UNITED UTILITIES GROUP PLC
DEFERRED SHARE AWARD SCHEME
30 January 2009
The following awards were granted on 30 January 2009 pursuant to the rules of
the deferred share award scheme (`the scheme') as approved by the board on 25
November 2008. Under the terms of the plan, awards will (which are structured
as options to acquire shares in the company with a zero exercise price) be
satisfied by using shares purchased in the market. Newly issued or treasury
shares cannot be used to satisfy awards under this plan. No directors of the
company can participate in the scheme. Under the rules, the awards are subject
to uplift for notional dividends made or paid during the vesting period. The
awards will normally become capable of exercise after the end of the vesting
period and must be exercised within 90 days thereafter. The ability to exercise
an award is not subject to satisfying a performance target.
