Director/PDMR Shareholding

RNS Number : 3340H

Babcock International Group PLC

02 December 2020

 

Share awards under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP")

In the Company's annual report and accounts for the year ending 31 March 2020, the Company stated in its Remuneration Committee Report that it was delaying the grant of the PSP awards due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  At that time, the intention was to base any award to Executive Directors on four measures.  However, after further consideration, the Company's Remuneration Committee decided that the best alignment with shareholders and our strategy would be to base those awards on free cash flow and relative TSR, with each measure having equal weighting.  The Company will disclose the targets for these measures in its Remuneration Committee Report for the year ending 31 March 2021. 

On 01 December 2020, the Company made the following awards of ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares"):

Name of Executive Directors	Number of ordinary shares over which PSP award granted
David Lockwood	408,545
David Mellors	285,981

In addition, on 01 December 2020, the Company made the following awards of Shares to persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMRs"):

Name of PDMRs	Number of ordinary shares over which PSP award granted
John Davies	99,548
Simon Bowen	91,214
Neal Misell	68,090
Derek Jones	57,451

These awards will vest, subject to the rules of the share plan after three years, but subject to a two year holding period.

All the awards covered by this announcement were granted in the form of nil-cost options and remain subject to the rules of the relevant plan at all times.
