Notification of Transactions of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility
Awards made by GlaxoSmithKline
On 17 February 2009, the Company granted a number of share-based awards to Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility (PDMRs). The following awards were made under the GlaxoSmithKline Share Option Plan and are subject to performance conditions.
The Share Option Plan was approved by shareholders on 31 July 2000, and allows awards to be made to senior executives in the Group, including the Executive Directors. The details of these awards are shown below.
Under the terms of the GlaxoSmithKline Share Option Plan, share options allow the holder to buy Ordinary shares or ADSs at a future date at a price determined by reference to the market price of shares at the time of grant. The ultimate number of share options that become exercisable depends on GSK's earnings per share (EPS) growth over the performance period.
The performance condition compares the compound annual increase in the Company's EPS with the increase in the Retail Prices Index (RPI) over the performance period compared to the base year (the financial year ended 31 December 2008). No options vest unless the Company's EPS increase exceeds RPI by 3% per annum. 30% of the share options vest for an EPS increase of 3% p.a. in excess of RPI, 65% vest at 4% p.a. in excess of RPI, 85% vest at 5% p.a. in excess of RPI and 100% vest for an increase of 6% p.a. or more in excess of RPI.
Vesting increases on a straight-line basis for EPS performance between these hurdles.
In respect of 50% of an Option, EPS will be measured over the three financial years that started on 1 January 2009 and will end on 31 December 2011. To the extent that options do not vest following the measurement of the performance condition over the three year period, they will lapse.
In respect of the remaining 50% of an Option, EPS will be measured over the four financial years that started on 1 January 2009 and will end on 31 December 2012. To the extent that options do not vest following the measurement of the performance condition over the four year period, they will lapse.
The individuals in the tables below, who are all Executive Directors or PDMRs, were each granted an award under the terms of the GlaxoSmithKline Share Option Plan. Options are granted over either the Company's 25p Ordinary shares or over the Company's ADSs. One ADS equals two Ordinary shares. The table below shows the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs which can vest in total, taking into account both the three and four year performance periods.
