Director/PDMR Shareholding
Genus plc (LSE: GNS) announces that on 13 September 2023,
conditional nil-cost share options were granted under the Genus
2019 Performance Share Plan ('PSP') over ordinary shares in Genus
to the Executive Directors and members of the Genus Executive
Leadership Team ('GELT') as listed in table A below. This includes
an option over shares worth 300% of salary for the Chief Executive
Officer.
In accordance with the announcement of the proposed share awards
for the incoming Chief Executive Officer on 2 May 2023, and as
permitted under the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved by our
shareholders in November 2022, an additional nil-cost share option
was granted under the PSP to the Chief Executive Officer over
ordinary shares worth 100% of salary, as listed in table B below.
This option is conditional on shareholder approval at the
forthcoming AGM, at which shareholders will also be asked to
approve an amendment to the PSP rules to increase the limit on the
value of shares over which an award can be granted in exceptional
circumstances to 400% of salary, so as to align the exceptional
circumstances limit under the PSP rules with that which
shareholders have previously approved under the Directors'
Remuneration Policy.
Details of the performance conditions that apply to the nil-cost
share options can be found in the Directors' Remuneration Report of
the Genus 2023 Annual Report which will be published next
month.
In addition, following Genus's compulsory deferral requirements
relating to the annual bonus earned by Executive Directors and GELT
for the financial year ended 30 June 2023, nil-cost share options
were granted over ordinary shares under the Genus 2019 Deferred
Share Bonus Plan ('DSBP') as listed in table C below.
The price at which PSP and DSBP nil-cost share options have been
granted was determined in accordance with the PSP and DSBP
rules.
The below notifications, made in accordance with Article 19 of
the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018
, give further detail of the nil-cost option awards made on 13
September 2023.
