Genus plc
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Genus plc (LSE: GNS) announces that on 13 September 2023, conditional nil-cost
share options were granted under the Genus 2019 Performance Share Plan ('PSP')
over ordinary shares in Genus to the Executive Directors and members of the
Genus Executive Leadership Team ('GELT') as listed in table A below. This
includes an option over shares worth 300% of salary for the Chief Executive
Officer.
In accordance with the announcement of the proposed share awards for the
incoming Chief Executive Officer on 2 May 2023, and as permitted under the
Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by our shareholders in November 2022,
an additional nil-cost share option was granted under the PSP to the Chief
Executive Officer over ordinary shares worth 100% of salary, as listed in
table B below. This option is conditional on shareholder approval at the
forthcoming AGM, at which shareholders will also be asked to approve an
amendment to the PSP rules to increase the limit on the value of shares over
which an award can be granted in exceptional circumstances to 400% of salary,
so as to align the exceptional circumstances limit under the PSP rules with
that which shareholders have previously approved under the Directors'
Remuneration Policy.
Details of the performance conditions that apply to the nil-cost share options
can be found in the Directors' Remuneration Report of the Genus 2023 Annual
Report which will be published next month.
In addition, following Genus's compulsory deferral requirements relating to
the annual bonus earned by Executive Directors and GELT for the financial year
ended 30 June 2023, nil-cost share options were granted over ordinary shares
under the Genus 2019 Deferred Share Bonus Plan ('DSBP') as listed in table C
below.
The price at which PSP and DSBP nil-cost share options have been granted was
determined in accordance with the PSP and DSBP rules.
The below notifications, made in accordance with Article 19 of the Market
Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, give further detail of the nil-cost
option awards made on 13 September 2023.
