Macfarlane Group PLC
Director/PDMR Shareholding
On 2nd September 2020, Peter D. Atkinson (Chief Executive), John Love (Group Finance Director) and Ivor Gray (Company Secretary) were granted conditional share awards over Macfarlane Group PLC ordinary shares of 25p as set out below, under the terms of the Company's Performance Share Plan ('PSP').
After consideration, the Remuneration Committee determined that the 2020 grants would be maintained at the standard levels. We acknowledge that, in common with many other companies we have seen a fall in our share price due to external factors. Under the LTIP rules, the Remuneration Committee has full discretion to ensure that the final outcome of the awards reflects all relevant factors, including shareholders' feedback and consideration of any potential windfall gains.
The conditional share award is subject to the achievement of performance conditions and if it vests will be released in accordance with the Plan rules. The award is also subject to an additional holding period of two years from the date on which the award vests.
