NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING
MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
6 June 2022
The Company announces the following changes in the interests of Directors and Persons Discharging
Managerial Responsibility (‘PDMR’) in ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the share capital of the
Company (‘shares’).
2020 Performance Share Plan (‘PSP’)
Grant of PSP options
On 1 June 2022, the grant of PSP options was made under the BTG 2020 PSP to the Directors and
PDMRs listed below:
Name Director/PDMR Number PSP options
Neil Murphy Director and PDMR 125,800
Andrew Holden Director and PDMR 102,580
The number of PSP options shown is the maximum available if the performance conditions for the
three-year performance period from 1 March 2022 to 28 February 2025 are satisfied in full. The
performance conditions relate to the Company’s adjusted earnings per share growth and relative total
shareholder return over the performance period. Further details of the performance conditions will
be disclosed in the Company’s annual report, expected to be distributed to shareholders on 15 June
2022 and available on the BTG website from that date.
Vesting will be on a pro-rata basis between the threshold and maximum vesting figures. In addition,
the BTG Remuneration Committee retains discretion to reduce the overall PSP vesting level if it
considers that the underlying business performance of the Company does not justify it.
2020 Deferred Share Bonus Plan (‘DBP’)
Grant of DBP options
On 1 June 2022, the grant of share options under the BTG 2020 DBP to the Directors and PDMRs listed
below:
Name Director/PDMR Number DBP options
Neil Murphy Director and PDMR 25,537
Andrew Holden Director and PDMR 10,305
Under the DBP, one-third of the annual bonus for the financial year ended 28 February 2022 awarded
to each of the Company’s executive directors, is deferred into share options which vest over a two-
year period. Annual bonus awards are based the achievement of pre-set performance targets. The
vesting of DBP options is not subject to additional performance conditions and the underlying share
options will accrue dividend equivalents over the vesting period.
