RECKITT BENCKISER GROUP PLC
DIRECTOR/PDMR SHAREHOLDINGS
Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (the "Company") announces the following changes in the interests of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR") in ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Shares").
2015 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")
Grant of Performance Share Options and Performance Share Awards
On 21 March 2023, the grant of performance share options and performance share awards ("2023 LTIP awards") were made under the LTIP to the Directors and PDMRs listed below:
Name | Director/PDMR | Number of performance share options | Number of performance shares |
Nicandro Durante | Director | 150,000 | 75,000 |
Jeff Carr | Director | 80,000 | 40,000 |
Kris Licht | PDMR | 80,000 | 40,000 |
Volker Kuhn | PDMR | 80,000 | 40,000 |
The number of performance share options and performance share awards shown is the maximum available if the stretching performance conditions for the three-year performance period ending on 31 December 2025 are satisfied in full.
The targets that will apply to the 2023 LTIP awards for the 2023-2025 performance period are set out below.
Performance Condition | Threshold* | Maximum* | Proportion of award |
(20% vesting) | (100% vesting) | ||
Net Revenue (NR) Growth - measured on a like-for-like (LFL) compound annual growth basis (CAGR) over three years | 2% | 5% | 40% |
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) - measured in the final year of performance | 14% | 16% | 25% |
Relative Total Shareholder Return (relative TSR) - measured against a group of 20 peer companies over three years | Median | Upper quartile | 25% |
% of net revenue from more sustainable products - measured in the final year of performance | 32% | 35% | 5% |
% reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in operations - measured in the final year of performance | 66% | 69% | 5% |
|
|
Vesting between achievement of threshold and maximum performance is on a straight-line basis. In addition to the above performance conditions, before determining the final vesting level, the Remuneration Committee will continue to take a broader assessment of performance in the round and has an overriding discretion to adjust vesting outcomes where, acting fairly and reasonably, it considers the formulaic outcome to be inappropriate.
In line with the Directors' Remuneration Policy, for Executive Directors there is a further two-year holding period commencing after the end of the performance period.
Performance share options will be exercisable at £58.28 per share. No consideration was paid for the grant of these awards.
Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP")
On 21 March 2023, the grant of conditional share awards was made under the Reckitt Benckiser Group Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP") to the Directors and PDMRs listed below:
Name | Director/PDMR | Number of Shares under award |
Nicandro Durante | Director | 8,895 |
Jeff Carr | Director | 14,721 |
Kris Licht | PDMR | 10,041 |
Volker Kuhn | PDMR | 3,009 |
In line with the Directors' Remuneration Policy these shares will vest three years after the date of grant.
