YouGov plc
("YouGov" or "the Group" or "the Company")
Grant of awards under Long-Term Incentive Plan 2019
YouGov, the international online research and data analytics group, announces
that the Remuneration Committee has approved the conditional grant of nil cost
options over ordinary shares of £0.02 under the YouGov Long-Term Incentive
Plan 2019 ("LTIP 2019") over a total number of 1,064,727 ordinary shares
(the "Award").
As announced on 8 October 2019, the LTIP 2019 is designed to motivate and
reward key employees for the achievement of highly demanding earnings per
share growth targets over the four-year performance period from 1 August 2019
to 31 July 2023.
The Award constitutes the third of three annual tranches of awards due to be
granted under the plan. The granting of each tranche is conditional upon the
participant's achievement of specific and demanding personal performance
objectives to be satisfied in the financial year preceding the award.
The vesting of awards is dependent on earnings per share growth - of at least
35% for the awards to vest in full - over the plan period. The normal vesting
date for awards granted under the plan will be the date of the public
announcement of YouGov's full year financial results for the year ended 31
July 2023, expected to be in October 2023.
The Award includes the following conditional awards granted to Executive
Directors of the Company:
Executive Director No. Conditional Awards
Stephan Shakespeare 183,612
Alex McIntosh 66,161
Sundip Chahal 84,724
Total awards granted 334,497
Details of the conditional awards made to the Executive Directors and PDMRs
are provided in the below tables.
