Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (the "Company" or "Reckitt") announces the following changes in the interests of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") in ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Shares").

2015 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

Grant of Performance Share Options and Performance Share Awards

On 6 September 2022, the grant of performance share options and performance share awards ("2022LTIP award") was made under the LTIP to the Director/PDMR listed below:

Name	Director/PDMR	Number of performance share options	Number of performance shares
Nicandro Durante	Director and PDMR	150,000	75,000

The number of performance share options and performance share awards shown is the maximum available if the stretching performance conditions for the three-year performance period ending on 31 December 2024 are satisfied in full. 

The targets that will apply to the 2022 LTIP awards for the 2022-2024 performance period are set out below. 

Performance Condition	Threshold*	Maximum*	Proportion of award
	(20% vesting)	(100% vesting)
Net Revenue (NR) Growth   - measured on a like-for-like (LFL) compound annual growth basis (CAGR) over three years	2.0%	5.0%	40%
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)   - measured in the final year of performance	13.2%	15.2%	25%
Relative Total Shareholder Return (relative TSR)   - measured against a group of 19 peer companies over three years	Median	Upper quartile	25%
% of net revenue from more sustainable products   - measured in the final year of performance	30%	33%	5%
% reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in operations   - measured in the final year of performance	65%	69%	5%

Vesting between achievement of threshold and maximum performance is on a straight-line basis. In addition to the above performance conditions, before determining the final vesting level, the Remuneration Committee will continue to take a broader assessment of performance in the round and has an overriding discretion to adjust vesting outcomes where, acting fairly and reasonably, it considers the formulaic outcome to be inappropriate. 

In line with the Directors' Remuneration Policy, for Executive Directors there is a further two-year holding period commencing after the end of the performance period.

Performance share options will be exercisable at 64.77 per share. No consideration was paid for the grant of these awards.
