DIRECTOR/PDMR SHAREHOLDING - Purchase of ordinary shares in QinetiQ
Group plc ("Shares" and the "Company" respectively) by a Director of the Company under its Share Incentive Plan ("SIP").
The SIP trustee, Equiniti Share Plan Trustees Limited (the "Trustee"), notified the Company on 10 June 2015 that the following Director of the Company acquired Shares under the SIP on 9 June 2015, held through the Trustee:
Director | Number of Shares acquired | Aggregate number of Shares held beneficially following acquisition (across all accounts) |
David Mellors | 87* | 416,270 |
* The number of Shares acquired includes 65 Partnership Shares acquired on 9 June 2015 at £2.3368 and 22 Matching Shares acquired on 9 June 2015 at £2.3368. All of the Shares are registered in the name of the Trustee.
The SIP operates as follows:
Each month the Trustee uses participants' contributions (which may not exceed £150 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the market. These shares are called "Partnership Shares".
At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee or instructs the Trustee to purchase in the market one "Matching Share" for every three Partnership Shares purchased that month.
Dividends paid by the Company to the Trustee in respect of the Partnership and Matching Shares are used by the Trustee to purchase shares in the market. These shares are called "Dividend Shares".
