Haleon plc: Director/PDMR Shareholding
24 March 2026: Haleon plc (the "Company" or "Haleon") (LSE/NYSE: HLN) today announces notification and public disclosure in accordance with the requirements of The UK Market Abuse Regulation of Transactions by a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR").
This notification sets out the details of the vesting of Haleon share awards over ordinary shares made to a PDMR in March 2023 under the Haleon Performance Share Plan and Deferred Annual Bonus Plan and the subsequent sale of ordinary shares to meet tax liabilities.
On 23 March 2026, Brian McNamara, Chief Executive Officer, received the vesting of awards of Haleon ordinary shares under the Haleon Performance Share Plan and Deferred Annual Bonus Plan. Vesting under both plans included dividends accrued.
The award under the Performance Share Plan was conditional on continued employment and on the satisfaction of the performance conditions over the performance period ended on 31 December 2025 approved by the Remuneration Committee, which (after tax on the gross award) must be retained until the shareholding requirement is met, and in any event for Executive Directors two years after receipt.
Performance targets and levels of achievement are disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report and 20-F. The awards are subject to malus and clawback provisions.
