* The ‘Number of Shares Acquired’ includes 50 Partnership shares
acquired at 246.89 pence per share (51 Partnership shares for Phil
Bentley, Grant Dawson, Sam Laidlaw, Nick Luff, Catherine May, Anne Minto
and Chris Weston with a higher residual balance) and 22 Matching shares
acquired at 248.7 pence per share. Both Partnership and Matching
elements are registered in the name of the Trustee.
(2) They had transferred 7,000 ordinary shares of 6 14/81
pence each from Equiniti Corporate Nominees Limited AESOP1 (Allocated
shares) to Equiniti Corporate Nominees Limited AESOP2 (Unallocated
shares). The transfer was made following the forfeiture of shares, under
the rules of the SIP, by participants who have left the group since the
last purchase and the shares had been used towards November’s allocation
of Matching shares.
The SIP is made available to all UK employees and operates as follows
-
Each month the Trustee uses participants’ contributions (which may not
exceed £125 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the
market. These shares are called ‘Partnership Shares’.
-
At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee
one ‘Matching Share’ for every two partnership shares purchased
that month (up to a maximum of 22 matching shares per month).
-
Participants may change their monthly savings rate whenever they wish.
However, Directors and others bound by the Company’s Securities
Dealing Code (the “Code”) may not make such a change during a
close period or when otherwise prohibited from dealing by the Code.
