Balfour Beatty plc (the "Company") announces that, on 31 March 2023 and 3 April 2023 the following PDMRs (the "Grantees") received conditional awards over the number of Ordinary Shares of 50p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") shown below (the "Awards"), in accordance with the rules of the Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP") and the Performance Share Plan ("PSP") respectively.

The vesting and holding period of each Award is subject to the rules of the DBP and PSP (as appropriate) and the Grantee agreeing to be bound by the terms of their Awards.

 

The Awards will normally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.  The Award made under the PSP is then subject to a further two-year holding period. No consideration is payable by grantees on either the grant or vesting of the Awards.

 

Three independent performance conditions will be used for the PSP Award:

o Relative TSR (one third weighting)

o Cash (one third weighting)

o EPS (one third weighting)

The performance condition applying to one third of the PSP Award (the "TSR Part") will measure the Company's relative total shareholder return ("TSR") performance over a three-year period relative to the TSR performance over the same period of a comparator group of companies, comprising the constituents of the FTSE 250 (excluding investment trusts) as at the start of the measurement period (the "Comparator Group"). The measurement period for the PSP Award shall comprise three consecutive financial years of the Company, starting with the 2023 financial year.

 

No portion of the TSR Part will vest unless the Company's TSR performance ranks at least equal to median TSR performance of the Comparator Group, at which point 25% of the TSR Part will vest, rising on a straight-line basis to 100% vesting for the Company's TSR performance ranking at upper quartile or better relative to the TSR performance of the Comparator Group.

 

The performance condition applying to a separate one third of the PSP Award (the "Cash Part") will measure improvement in the Company's Operating Cash Flow ("OCF") from continuing operations over a measurement period starting with the 2023 financial year.

 

No portion of the Cash Part will vest unless the Company's OCF for the 2025 financial year is greater than 242m. Were OCF for 2025 to be greater than 242m but not more than 346m, 25% to 50% of the Cash Part would vest on a straight-line basis. Were OCF for 2025 to be 346m to 396m or more, between 50% of and 100% of the Cash Part would vest on a straight-line basis.

 

The performance condition applying to a separate one third of the PSP Award (the "EPS Part") will measure the Company's earnings per share performance over a measurement period starting with the 2023 financial year.

 

No portion of the EPS Part will vest unless the Company's EPS for the 2025 financial year is 33.0p, at which point 25% of the EPS Part will vest, rising on a straight-line basis to 100% vesting for the Company's EPS for 2025 being 50.7p or more.
