SABMiller plc (the "Company")
Executive Share Award Plan 2008
Notification of transactions of directors, persons discharging managerial responsibility or connected persons in accordance with DTR 3.1
On 1 December 2015, Johann Nel, a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility ("PDMR"), who was appointed as the Company's Director of Human Resources and joined the Company's Executive Committee with effect from 14 September 2015, was provisionally allocated nil cost Performance Share and Value Share Awards under the Company's Executive Share Award Plan 2008 (the "Plan") in respect of the number of US$0.10 ordinary shares in the Company shown below. The allocation of these awards is in accordance with the contract agreed with Mr Nel at the time of his appointment. The release of shares is subject to satisfaction of the applicable Earnings per Share (EPS) or Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance condition:
Performance Share Award (EPS-based condition Note 1) | 22,226 shares |
Value Share Award (TSR-based condition Note 2) | 23 shares |
(Note 1) The Performance Share Award shows the maximum potential number of shares which could be released should testing against the Company's three-year adjusted earnings per share growth in constant currency be met in full.
(Note 2) The Value Share Award shows the number of shares that have been awarded for each £10 million of additional shareholder value created, defined as the amount by which the growth in the Company's market capitalisation plus net equity cash flows exceeds the median growth of a weighted peer group index, over three, four and five year performance periods. One third of the shares will be tested against the performance condition on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date respectively, and the number of shares capable of being released will depend on the degree of TSR out-performance to those dates. If there is no TSR out-performance at the relevant date, one-third of the award will lapse, with no opportunity for retesting.
(Note 3) In the event of a change of control, the terms and conditions of these awards and how they may vest will be subject to the treatment agreed with Anheuser-Busch InBev ("ABI"), as disclosed in the Co-operation Agreement between SABMiller plc and ABI dated 11 November 2015. A copy of the Co-operation Agreement can be found on www.sabmiller.com.
