2022 LTIP Awards
The LTIP awards will normally vest on 18 March 2025, being the
third anniversary of the award date subject to 1) continuous
employment; and 2) the satisfaction of the relative Total
Shareholder Return performance conditions set by the Company's
Remuneration Committee on 16 February 2022. These stretching
performance conditions, are detailed in the 2021 Directors'
Remuneration Report in the Entain Annual Report (that will be
available on the Entain corporate website at www.entaingroup.com
from 25 March 2022). The post tax number of shares vesting from
these awards are subject to a two year, post vest, holding
period.
The terms of these awards provide the Remuneration Committee
with the ability to review the outcome at vesting and, if it
concludes that participants would benefit from 'windfall gains', it
will consider making appropriate adjustments to reflect this.
ADBP Awards
In the Company's remuneration policy, 50% of the Executive
Directors' annual bonus is deferred in shares. The above deferred
bonus awards have therefore been granted in respect of the CEO, CFO
& Deputy CEO, and Chief Governance Officer's annual bonus for
the 2021 financial year. These awards will normally vest on 18
March 2025, being the third anniversary of the award date, subject
to continued employment.
The Entain Directors hold in aggregate 328,481 Shares (including
those of their closely associated persons) equivalent to 0.06% of
the Company's issued share capital.
The information set out below is provided in accordance with the
requirements of Article 19(3) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation No
596/2014.
