Grant under Performance Share Plan
Forterra plc (the "Company") announces that on 17 September 2020 awards over ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company were granted to certain Directors and persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs") under the Forterra plc Performance Share Plan ("PSP") as follows:
Name of Director / PDMR | Number of Shares over which the PSP Award is granted |
Stephen Harrison (Chief Executive Officer) | 344,858 |
Ben Guyatt (Chief Financial Officer) | 203,947 |
George Stewart (Operations Director) | 57,778 |

Ashley Thompson (Company Secretary) | 13,158 |
Other management | 185,167 |
Total awards granted | 1,075,276 |
No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards which are structured as nominal cost options at an option exercise price of £0.01 per Ordinary Share. The number of Ordinary Shares granted under the award has been calculated using a share price of 190.00 pence being an average mid-market quotation as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the last 5 days of trading.
The vesting of an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions which have been set by the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The awards will normally vest on 17 September 2023, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions and the participant being a director or employee within the Company's group at that time. Further information regarding the PSP is set out in the Annual Report and Accounts.
The performance conditions applying to these awards are as follows:
Performance condition | % of award subject to condition | The Company's TSR compared against Index TSR | % of PSP award which will vest |
Company's total shareholder return (TSR) against Index TSR | 100% | Less than Index TSR | 0% |
Equal to Index TSR | 25% | ||
Between Index TSR and Index TSR plus 25 percentage points | On a straight line basis between 25% and 100% | ||
Equal to Index TSR plus 25 percentage points | 100% |
Due to uncertainty related to COVID-19 setting meaningful EPS targets is difficult so in this instance all awards are subject to a TSR performance condition. Further information on the index of comparable companies is disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report and Accounts.
In addition, the Company also announces that the PDMR's have cancelled share options as follows under the Company's all employee sharesave plan:
