NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS AND PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ("PDMRs")
Aviva announces that:
· On 5 September 2022, Charlotte Jones was granted conditional awards over Aviva plc ordinary shares under the Aviva Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). The LTIP awards have been granted based on the award price, vesting schedule and performance conditions as applied to the LTIP awards made on 21 March 2022. The CFO LTIP award is consistent with the level set out in our announcement of 4 April 2022 following the appointment of Charlotte Jones.
· The LTIP award for the CFO will vest in 2025 in accordance with the plan rules. LTIP awards for Executive Directors are subject to an additional two-year post-vesting holding period and therefore will be released in 2027.
· The LTIP awards are subject to the achievement of financial and non-financial performance conditions (15% based on Solvency II (SII) Return on Equity, 25% based on Cumulative Cash Remittances, 40% based on relative Total Shareholder Return against a comparator group, 7.5% based on Relationship Net Promoter Score, 7.5% based on the Reduction in CO2 intensity of shareholder assets and with-profit funds, 2.5% based on females in senior leadership roles and 2.5% based on ethnically diverse employees in senior leadership roles). Financial measures are subject to a SII shareholder cover ratio, which is to meet or exceed the minimum of the stated working range (currently 160% to 180%). Performance will be measured over a three-year performance period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024. The amounts shown below represent the maximum possible opportunity.
· Under the LTIP award, additional shares are awarded at vesting in lieu of dividends on the shares that vest.
· The awards were made for nil consideration.
