James Henderson, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was awarded 24,401 Shares under the William Hill Executive Bonus Matching Scheme 2013 (EBMS 2013). The award was made in 2013, prior to Mr Henderson's appointment as Chief Executive Officer. On 8 March 2016, the award was exercised at a price of 387.6 pence per Share and sufficient Shares were sold to account for tax and national insurance payable. A balance arose of 12,794 Shares which has been transferred to James Henderson.
All of the above transactions took place in London.
Following the above transactions, the interests of James Henderson in the Company's Share Schemes are as follows:
