Director	Title	Percentage of annual bonus	Number of awards	Holding period

		75%	35,508	For a period of up to one year

		25%	3,311	For a period of up to one year
D Catalano  Senior Executive		25%	5,062	3 years

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.
