Coca-Cola HBC AG (the "Company")
2022 Performance Share Plan ('PSP') Awards - Performance Conditions
Zug, Switzerland - 16 September 2022 - As disclosed in the Integrated Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the "2021 IAR") and as announced on 23 March 2022, on 15 March 2022 the Chief Executive Officer and certain other PDMRs of the Company were granted nil-cost performance shares of CHF 6.70 each (the "Shares") in the Company through their participation in the Stock Option and Performance Share Award Plan ("PSP"). These awards will vest after three years, subject to the achievement of performance conditions.
Due to the onset of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and as noted in the 2021 IAR, the calibration of targets had not been finalised as at the date of grant. It was agreed therefore, that whilst the 2022 PSP awards would be granted on the usual timeframe in March 2022, the performance conditions applicable to those awards would be confirmed within six months of grant. As there is ongoing instability and disruption in the operating environment, Russia and Ukraine business financials are excluded from the PSP targets for the plan 2022-2024. Future performance, related to Russia-Ukraine, will be excluded when determining the plan's achievement, even if there is a positive impact.
As determined by the Remuneration Committee, the performance conditions have now been finalised and are set out below:
