The information set out below is provided in accordance with the requirements of Article 19(3) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No 596/2014.
As announced on 25 October, 2018, Philip Jansen has today been granted awards under the BT Group Retention Share Plan (RSP) and the BT Group Incentive Share Plan (ISP).
The RSP award is to compensate him for the loss in shares that were forefeited on leaving Worldpay to join BT. In accordance with the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders on 12 July 2017, the buy-out mirrors the value and terms of the award forefeited. The RSP shares will vest on 20 March 2020 subject to continued employment and will only vest to the extent that the forfeited award meets the original performance targets set by Worldpay. Philip has agreed to hold any vested shares for a further one year until 20 March 2021.
The 2018 ISP award will vest in May 2021, subject to performance. Philip is required to hold any vested shares for a further two years.
Prior to joining BT, Philip purchased 770,500 BT shares (equivalent in value to £1,988,645) on 2 November 2018.
