Note 1
The awards granted to the PDMRs on 24 June 2022 are subject to continued employment and the achievement of performance conditions which are measured over the performance period of 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2025. The vesting date is 3 years after the grant date.
The performance conditions which apply to these Awards are EPS, ROCE, Kingfisher's Total Shareholder Return relative to a comparator group ('Relative TSR') and a basket of ESG measures.
The targets and associated weightings attached to these conditions are as follows:
Target | 2024/25 EPS (25% weighting) | 2024/25 ROCE (25% weighting) | Relative TSR (25% weighting) | Basket of ESG conditions (25% weighting) |
Threshold(25% Vesting) | 36.5p | 12.85% | 50th percentile | See table below for detail |
Stretch(100% Vesting) | 47.5p | 16.30% | 75th percentile |
Target | Climate change Reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions(8.33% weighting) | Forest Positive % of wood and paper responsibly sourced as a % of SKUs purchased (8.33% weighting) | Gender Diversity % of women in senior leadership (8.33% weighting) |
Threshold(25% Vesting) | 31.0% | 95.0% | 30% |
Target(50% Vesting) | 34.0% | 98.0% | 33% |
Stretch(100% Vesting) | 37.8% | 99.5% | 35% |
The definitions used for EPS and ROCE are as per our 2021/22 Annual Report.
The Comparator Group used for the relative TSR condition is the combined constituents of the FTSE 350 Retailers, FTSE 350 Drug and Grocery Stores as well as the STOXX 600 Drug and Grocery Stores, as of 1 February 2022.
For the basket of ESG conditions, the following definitions apply:
· Climate Change is the reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions in FY2024/25 from a FY2016/17 baseline.
· Forest Positive is the percentage of wood and paper responsibly sourced as a % of Stock Keeping Units ('SKUs') purchased in FY2024/25.
· Gender Diversity is the percentage of women in senior leadership roles at the end of FY2024/25 (on 31 January 2025).
For the EPS, ROCE and Relative TSR performance conditions, the award vests on a straight-line basis between threshold and stretch. For the ESG performance conditions, the award vests on a straight-line basis between threshold and target and between target and stretch. For all performance conditions, the award does not vest for performance below threshold for that performance condition. Each performance condition is measured independently.
