*including connected persons
The PSP awards made by Macfarlane represent awards over shares
worth 100% of the Executive Directors' base salaries, as permitted
by the Directors' remuneration policy. The Company had anticipated
making PSP awards at a 50% of base salary level in 2019 (and
included a statement in its Directors' remuneration report to this
effect) but after consideration and further review by the
Remuneration Committee in the period since February 2019, it was
determined that awards at 100% of salary should be made in
2019.
The reason for this change of approach was to recognise that
these awards are the first PSP awards made by the Company since
2015, and accordingly it was considered to be in shareholders'
interests to ensure that our Executive Directors are appropriately
aligned to shareholders through slightly larger PSP awards that
will directly link potential reward to the future performance of
the Company through the PSP.
The PSP awards made to Mr. Gray and Mr. Quirk represent awards
over shares worth 50% of base salaries.
