The TSR part of the award vested on 24 February 2022. The remaining third of the PSA granted in 2017 will vest on 31 May 2022 once the relative EBIT margin performance has been established.
On 24 February 2022, the following PDMR/KMP received their vested PSA in the form of shares, of which sufficient were sold to pay applicable withholding tax and other deductions.
