GlaxoSmithKline plc (the 'Company')
2019 Performance Share Plan Award and 2019 Performance
Measures
2019 Performance Share Plan Award
On 8 March 2019, the Company granted conditional share awards to
Executive Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities ('PDMRs') under the GlaxoSmithKline 2017
Performance Share Plan ('the Plan'). The Plan was approved by
shareholders on 4 May 2017, and allows a performance-related
opportunity in the form of conditional awards to be granted to
senior executives in the Group, including the Executive Directors
and PDMRs.
Under the terms of the Plan, conditional awards are granted over
a specific number of Ordinary Shares ('Ords') or American
Depositary Shares ('ADS'), and the percentage of awards that
ultimately vests is dependent on the level of achievement against
performance targets set by the Remuneration Committee.
2019 Performance Measures
The performance condition information that follows applies to
the 2019 Performance Share Plan Awards.
The performance period for the awards is the three financial
years from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021. The awards are based
on three equally weighted performance measures:
Performance Measure Proportion of
each award
Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) 1/3rd
--------------
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (AFCF) 1/3rd
--------------
Research & Development (R&D) New Product 1/3rd
performance
--------------
Relative TSR measure
This measure compares the TSR of the Company's Ordinary Shares
over the performance period with the TSR of the shares of nine (9)
other global pharmaceutical companies (i.e. a comparator group of
ten (10) companies including the Company). This TSR comparator
group remains unchanged. The companies in the TSR comparator group
are AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Johnson &
Johnson, Merck & Co, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche Holdings, Sanofi
and GlaxoSmithKline.
The Relative TSR vesting schedule for the 2019 awards has been
revised versus last year's award and is based on delivering 25%
vesting for achieving median performance. In a group of 10
companies, the median (position 5.5) falls between two companies.
The vesting schedule for the 2019 awards is as follows:
Ranking position Vesting Schedule
1(st) , 2(nd) or 3rd 100%
-----------------
4(th) 70%
-----------------
5(th) 40%
-----------------
Median (Threshold vesting) 25%
-----------------
6(th) or below 0%
-----------------
Adjusted Free Cash Flow measure
The use of cash flow as a performance measure is intended to
recognise the importance of effective working capital management
and of generating cash to fund the Group's operations, investments,
and Ordinary dividends to shareholders.
Free cash flow represents the operating profit of the business
adjusted for non-cash items after deducting the cost or benefit of
working capital, capital expenditure, contingent consideration
payments, net interest, dividends paid to non-controlling interests
and taxation.
The adjustments to free cash flow, used to set the AFCF target
for the purpose of this performance measure, include foreign
exchange, legal, special pension contributions, and the impact of
divestments and acquisitions. The measure post-adjustment is the
"adjusted free cash flow" target.
This element of the 2019 award will vest as follows:
Performance Level Adjusted Free Cash Proportion Vesting
Flow target
Below threshold < GBP11.74bn 0%
-------------------- -------------------
Threshold GBP11.74bn 25%
-------------------- -------------------
GBP12.10bn 50%
---------------------------------------- -------------------
GBP13.31bn 75%
---------------------------------------- -------------------
Maximum GBP13.91bn 100%
-------------------- -------------------
The proportions vesting between the above vesting levels will be
calculated on a straight-line basis.
R&D New Product measure
Due to commercial sensitivity, the Remuneration Committee
remains of the view that the R&D new product target cannot be
published at the time of grant. However, the target and vesting
outcome will be disclosed in full at the end of the performance
period.
25% of this element will vest if the performance threshold level
is attained, rising to 100% for stretching performance exceeding
122% of the set threshold. Below the set threshold, none of this
element will vest.
Notes
1. To the extent that each element of a conditional award does
not vest at the end of the three-year performance period, it will
lapse.
2. The Executive Directors or PDMRs in the transaction
notifications below were each granted a conditional award under the
terms of the GlaxoSmithKline 2017 Performance Share Plan. Awards
granted are of Ordinary Shares or ADS.
3. Dividends will accrue on the conditional award of Ordinary
Shares or ADS during the performance period, but will only vest to
the extent that the awards themselves vest at the end of the
performance period. These dividends are not included in the figures
below.
4. For Executive Directors, the award is subject to an
additional vesting period of two years from the normal vesting
date, i.e. five years in total. During the additional vesting
period, the relevant Ordinary Shares or ADS would only be forfeited
in the event that the Executive Director was terminated for
cause.
