Alternative performance measure correction - NAVps
The press release "Beazley plc results for year end 31 December 2022" published at 7.00am on the 2 March 2023, contained an error relating to the number of shares used to calculate two of our alternative performance metrics, net assets per share and net tangible assets per share. The original calculation had used the weighted average number of shares for the year ( excluding shares held in the employee benefit trust). This has been corrected to the closing number of shares as at 31 December 2022 ( excluding shares held in the employee benefit trust).
The table below sets out the corrected information:
|
Period ended |
Net assets per share (pence) |
315.6 |
Net tangible assets per share (pence) |
299.8 |
|
|
Net assets per share (cents) |
386.7 |
Net tangible assets per share (cents) |
367.4 |
|
|
Number of shares |
665.4 |
All other numbers within the RNS issued on 2 March 2023 and Annual Report and Accounts issued 3 March 2023 remain the same, save for those impacted by net asset per share within the Directors' Remuneration Report. These will be updated as soon as practicable within the Annual Report and Accounts. Executive Director payments will be made on the correct basis noted above.
