The 2022 DABP awards represent the deferral into ordinary shares of part of the Executive Directors' 2021 bonus entitlements under the rules of the scheme subject to the participant being an employee at the time of vesting. No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards which are structured as nominal (1p) cost options although this sum was waived by the Company on exercise. The number of options exercised also includes a dividend equivalent in addition to the options initially granted in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
No new shares were issued in respect of these transactions with shares being transferred to the individuals from the Forterra Employee Benefit Trust.
The above notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulations.
