Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs)

 

Long Term Incentive Plans

On 11 July 2019 Gavin Rochussen, John Mansell, Iain Evans and Alexander Black were granted awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), as part of the Company's Equity Incentive Plan. Details of the original grant are contained in RNS No. 6003F.

 

The terms of the LTIP award provide for vesting in equal tranches on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of grant, subject to continued employment and the achievement of an EPS performance condition by reference to the adjusted total EPS for the year ended 31 March 2022. The vesting criteria would be 50% vesting on achievement of adjusted diluted total EPS of 41.1p; 100% vesting on achievement of adjusted diluted total EPS of 62.2p and above; and pro-rata straight-line vesting for an adjusted diluted total EPS achieved between the 50% and 100% targets.

 

The third anniversary of this award was on 11 July 2022.

 

The adjusted diluted total EPS for the 2021/22 financial year was 56.0p, which based on the pro-rata straight-line basis described above, meant that there would be an 85% vesting of the 2019 LTIP Award.

 

 

Conditional Share Awards

On 11 July 2019, Samir Ayub and Nicholas Farren were granted conditional awards as part of the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, details of which are contained in RNS No. 6708F.

 

The terms of these conditional share awards provided for the vesting on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of grant, subject to continued employment. The third anniversary of this award was also on 11 July 2022.

 

 

The following table provides details of the vesting of the awards:
