Vesting of Awards under the Company's2017 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2017 LTIP")
As set out in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2019, in March 2020 the Remuneration Committee approved the vesting of Performance Share Awards and Restricted Share Awards granted in 2017 under the 2017 LTIP (the "Awards"). The Awards were in respect of a performance period that ran from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019, further details of which are set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report for 2019.
The normal vesting date of the Awards was 1 September 2020; however, the Remuneration Committee resolved at that time that the vesting should be delayed in view of the ongoing negotiations with the Company's creditors regarding a long term refinancing and subsequent discussions with Chrysaor. Following the announcement on 6 October 2020 regarding the proposed merger with Chrysaor, the Remuneration Committee has resolved that the Awards can now vest as set out in the table below.
All of the net shares from the Awards vesting to the Directors are subject to a two-year holding period in accordance with the Directors' Remuneration Policy.
