* The ‘Number of Shares Acquired’ includes 44 Partnership shares
acquired at 281.7 pence per share (45 Partnership shares for Phil
Bentley, Nick Luff, Catherine May and Chris Weston with a higher
residual balance) and 22 Matching shares acquired at 281.13 pence per
share. Both Partnership and Matching elements are registered in the name
of the Trustee.
(2) They had transferred 15,000 Shares 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 January’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.
