On 21 December 2023, the following award of US$0.20 ordinary shares (the
"Shares") in Smith & Nephew plc (the "Company") vested under an award
agreement to Deepak Nath.
VESTING OF A PERFORMANCE AWARD GRANTED UNDER THE AWARD AGREEMENT DATED 29
APRIL 2022
As set out in the announcement published on 3 May 2022, a Performance Award
over 84,868 shares was granted to Deepak Nath with an expected vest date of 8
November 2023. The vest of this award was subject to the performance
conditions applicable to the performance stock award over Siemens Healthineers
AG ("SH") shares originally granted to Mr Nath by SH on 8 November 2019.
In accordance with the terms of the award agreement, the expected vest date of
8 November 2023 was delayed so that the applicable performance criteria
attaching to the Performance Award could be measured against the financial
results of SH which were announced on 8 November 2023. It has been determined
that, following completion of the performance measurement period, 99.98% of
the award vests. 84,855 shares were therefore available for vest with the
remaining balance of shares, 13, lapsing with immediate effect.
