NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
On 23 March 2020 the following conditional share awards over ordinary shares of 4 329/395 pence in Aggreko plc (the "Company") were made under the Aggreko Deferred Share Bonus Plan (the "DSBP") and the Aggreko 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMRs") of the Company based on a price of £3.59.
No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards.
DSBP Awards
The following awards were made under the DSBP:
Name of PDMR | DSBP Award |
Chris Weston | 149,456 |
Heath Drewett | 91,666 |
Stephen Beynon | 11,284 |
Bruce Pool | 17,165 |
Dan Ibbetson | 13,705 |
Peter Kennerley | 8,520 |
Grant Nairn | 7,686 |
The awards will normally vest on 23 March 2023.
Under Aggreko's remuneration policy approved by shareholders at the 2018 AGM, bonus payments are payable as 75% in cash and 25% deferred into shares for three years. Chris Weston and Heath Drewett have volunteered to defer 100% of their bonus in Aggreko shares and the Remuneration Committee has welcomed this gesture. The deferred share awards will be satisfied by market purchased shares.
LTIP awards
The following awards were made under the LTIP:
Name of PDMR | LTIP Award |
Chris Weston | 532,729 |
Heath Drewett | 326,740 |
Stephen Beynon | 301,880 |
Bruce Pool | 300,047 |
Dan Ibbetson | 233,286 |
Kim Kersey | 133,704 |
Grant Nairn | 137,883 |
The vesting of the awards is subject to continued employment and performance conditions based on the long-term financial performance of the Group set by the Remuneration Committee of the Company.
The performance period is the three financial years from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022. D-EPS will be measured over the three-year performance period. ROCE will be measured in the final year of the performance period. The performance criteria are as follows:
• 50% of the award is based on three-year D-EPS (aggregate measurement basis), with 25% of shares awarded against this element for D-EPS growth of 5% CAGR per annum. Awards will then continue to vest above that level and will increase straight-line to a maximum for 12% CAGR per annum growth; and
• 50% of the award is based on final year ROCE in the range of 13% to 18%, with 25% of shares awarded against this element if 2022 ROCE is 13%. Awards will increase straight-line to the maximum at 18% ROCE in 2022.
Shares will vest after three years and will be subject to a further holding period of two years, with shares (post-tax) released on the fifth anniversary from date of grant.
After consideration, the Remuneration Committee determined that the 2020 grants would be maintained at the standard levels. We acknowledge that, in common with many other companies we have seen a recent significant fall in our share price due to external factors. Under the LTIP rules, the Remuneration Committee has full discretion to ensure that the final outturns reflect all relevant factors, including consideration of any windfall gains.
Details of awards granted to PDMRs are set out below in compliance with Article 19 of Regulation 596/2014.
