Notification of transactions of directors, persons discharging managerial responsibilities or connected persons in accordance with DTR 3.1
The independent trustee of the SABMiller plc Employees' Benefit Trust (the EBT) notified SABMiller plc (the Company) on 3 June 2016 that it had on 3 June 2016 released ordinary shares in the Company to directors and persons discharging managerial responsibility (PDMRs), as summarised in the table below.
These shares relate to the first tranche of provisional allocations of performance shares made in 2013 under the SABMiller plc Executive Share Award Plan 2008. These awards are only capable of vesting if the Company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) exceeds the median TSR of a comparator group over a three year performance period. No shares vest for median performance but for every £10 million of additional shareholder value created in excess of the median (being the % outperformance of the median multiplied by SABMiller's market capitalisation at the start of the performance period) a fixed number of shares will vest. These awards are subject to testing against the performance condition on the third anniversary of the date of grant. This is the first of three tranches to be tested under this condition. The second tranche will be tested against the condition on the fourth anniversary and the third tranche will be tested on the fifth anniversary. To the extent a tranche does not meet its condition, it will lapse without opportunity to retest.
In accordance with the terms of the awards, the number of shares to be released was calculated by reference to the Company's TSR performance against its comparator group for the period from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2016. For this period, SABMiller's TSR was 46.071%, compared with 42.741% for the median of the comparator group. This represents an out-performance of the median by 3.33%, meaning that an additional £1,584 million of shareholder value in excess of the median was created over this period.
The shares were released to the PDMRs on 3 June 2016, with sales of shares to meet tax and other withholding obligations being effected on the same day as shown in the table below.
