Awards granted under the DBSP usually vest three years from grant, subject to satisfaction of service conditions. However, reflecting on the impact of COVID-19 in recent weeks, and given the decision of the Board not to recommend a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Committee has decided the following:
 
Following a request of the Executive Directors in late March, the proportion of the bonus that would normally have been paid in cash (75% of the award), will be deferred into shares for a period of up to one year. The proportion of the bonus that would normally be deferred into shares (25%) will continue as normal and will be released after three years.
PDMRs have also requested that a proportion of the bonus that would normally have been paid in cash be deferred into shares for a period of up to one year. The proportion of the bonus that would normally be deferred into shares (25%) will continue as normal and will be released after three years.
 
The Notification of Dealing Form for each Director/PDMR can be found below.
 
This notification is made in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation.
