In addition, as disclosed in the Company's 2021/22 Annual Report and Accounts, Executive Directors are required to retain the after-tax value of any shares under the LTPP award until the shareholding requirement is met, and in any event for two years after receipt. The LTPP award is subject to clawback and malus provisions.
For further details of the LTPP, please see the Company's 2021/22 Annual Report and Accounts.
The RAP vesting relates to a RAP Award made to the PDMR in June 2022. The award was conditional on continued employment with the Company and satisfactory conduct and performance. The RAP award is subject to malus and clawback provisions.
In accordance with MAR the relevant Financial Conduct Authority notifications are set out below.
