Managerial Responsibility
Royal Mail plc Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Grant
On 1 September 2022, the PDMRs listed below were granted
conditional share awards over ordinary shares in Royal Mail plc
(the "Company") under the Royal Mail plc LTIP. The number of shares
awarded under the LTIP is set out in the table below, which is the
maximum grant that the PDMRs are eligible for, and will only vest
in full if the maximum performance condition is achieved.
PDMR Number of shares
Mark Amsden 114,013
-----------------
Mick Jeavons 239,361
-----------------
Martin Seidenberg 288,888
-----------------
Simon Thompson 299,202
-----------------
LTIP awards normally vest at the end of the three-year
performance period, once the Remuneration Committee has determined
achievement against the performance condition. The earliest release
date will be 1 September 2025, subject to the participant
continuing to hold office or employment within the Royal Mail
Group, and then subject to a two-year holding period. On vesting,
the Committee must also be also satisfied that the performance of
the Company against the relevant measures outlined below is
reflective of the Company's underlying financial performance.
Executive Directors are required to retain any share-based
awards until they achieve a shareholding equivalent of 200 per cent
of salary. Other PDMRs are required to retain a shareholding
equivalent of 100 per cent of salary.
The terms of these awards provide the Remuneration Committee
with the ability to review the outcome at vesting and it may
consider making appropriate adjustments to reflect this.
As we explained in our 2022 Annual Report, earlier this year we
delayed setting targets and granting 2022 LTIP awards due to the
continuing uncertainty around the long-term business environment
resulting from the geopolitical uncertainty in Europe and the
status of pandemic restrictions in our markets.
Our intention at the time was for these awards to be granted by
August. Due to the continuing business uncertainty, these awards
were granted on 1 September 2022.
However, the geopolitical and economic uncertainty that caused
us to initially delay setting targets has further increased since
the start of the year with high rates of inflation and weakening
retail trends impacting the parcels market. In addition, for Royal
Mail there is the unknown impact of industrial action due to the
ongoing dispute with the CWU. These exceptional times means that
there remains too much uncertainty to make reasonable three-year
revenue and profit forecasts to use as the basis for LTIP
targets.
Therefore, for 2022 LTIP awards the Committee has agreed that we
will not set three-year Royal Mail operating profit and parcel
revenue targets, and instead will replace these elements of our
performance framework with relative total shareholder return (TSR)
(previously 40% weighting for all executive directors). TSR is a
well-established measure for LTIP awards and we consider that this
approach is simple and transparent and will provide a meaningful
link between executive reward and shareholder interests during this
critical time for the Company.
The GLS measures for LTIP awards made to Mick Jeavons (Group
CFO) and Martin Seidenberg (GLS CEO) will continue as normal.
In summary, the measures and weightings for 2022 LTIP awards for
our executive directors are as follows:
