The Corporation announced on 28 January 2021 that shares had been purchased by a subsidiary undertaking to reinvest dividends received from shares held in trust under a Deferred Share Bonus Plan for senior staff. The following transaction in the Company's Ordinary 5p shares was undertaken by a director / person discharging managerial responsibility ('PDMRs') as a result of this dividend reinvestment.
In line with the Corporation's Remuneration Policy in place during the year to 31 December 2019, a third of the bonus earned by the Executive Directors was required to be deferred for three years. In accordance with that policy, 16,294 shares for Denis Jackson were granted under the Deferred Share Bonus Plan on 13 March 2020 at an average price of 587.19 pence per share.
As set out in the Corporation's Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders on 7 April 2020, in future half of any bonus earned by the Executive Directors above £100,000 will be deferred in shares for three years with enhanced malus and clawback provisions applying.
The shares are held in trust and no consideration is payable on the grant or vesting of the award. The number of shares to which each award relates is increased by the reinvestment of dividends due on the shares held in trust.
