Notification of Transactions of Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities
Ā
This notification is made in accordance with Article 19(3) of the Market Abuse Regulation.
Ā
Grant of 2020 Long Term Incentive Share Awards
Ā
Vesuvius plc (the "Company") announces that on 12 March 2020, performance share awards (the "Awards") were granted over the Company's ordinary shares ("Shares") to the following persons discharging managerial responsibilities in the Company under the Vesuvius Share Plan in the form indicated in the table below:
Ā
Name | Maximum number of Shares under Award ("Award Shares") | Form of Award |
Patrick AndrƩ | 282,772 | Nil-cost Option |
Guy Young | 132,120 | Nil-cost Option |
Ā
The number of Award Shares set out above is the maximum number which may vest under the Awards, normally following the third anniversary of the award date. The actual number of Award Shares which vest will depend upon the extent to which performance conditions have been satisfied.
Ā
The performance conditions applicable to the 2020 Awards will be based half on total shareholder return (TSR) performance and half on earnings per share (EPS), as described in the Company's 2019 Annual Report.
Ā
The 2020 Awards are subject to a holding period which will run until the fifth anniversary of the grant date.
Ā
Given current share price volatility, the Remuneration Committee resolved that the number of shares subject to the Awards should be capped at a level that reflects the middle market share price of the Company for the five days up to the February Committee meeting, being 437.1 pence. As the average middle market closing price of a Vesuvius share (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List) for the five trading days prior to the date of grant (5-11 March) was 392.48 pence, the capped price of 437.1 pence per share has therefore been used to limit the number of shares awarded.
As a result Patrick AndrƩ received an Award equivalent in value to 180% of his base salary rather than 200% and Guy Young received an Award equivalent in value to 135% of his base salary rather than 150%.
Ā
The Vesuvius Share Plan was approved by shareholders at the General Meeting on 26 November 2012.
