NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
23 June 2025
BTG announces the following changes in the interests of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibility ("PDMRs") 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 23 June 2025 a grant of PSP options was made under the BTG 2020 PSP to the Directors and PDMRs
listed below:
Name Director/PDMR Number of PSP options
Sam Mudd Director and PDMR 135,000
Andrew Holden Director and PDMR 112,000
Jack Watson PDMR 59,200
Clare Metcalfe PDMR 47,900
Paul Emms PDMR 37,100
WK Groenewald PDMR 12,400
The number of PSP options shown is the maximum available if the performance conditions for the
three-year performance period from 1 March 2025 to 29 February 2028 are satisfied in full. The
performance conditions relate to the Company's earnings per share growth and relative total
shareholder return over the performance period. Further details of the performance conditions are
disclosed in the Company's annual report, distributed to shareholders on 28 May 2025 and available
on the BTG website.
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 23 June 2025 a grant of share options was made under the BTG 2020 DBP to the Directors listed
below:
Name Director/PDMR Number of DBP options
Sam Mudd Director and PDMR 22,744
Andrew Holden Director and PDMR 19,031
Under the DBP, one-third of the annual bonus for the financial year ended 28 February 2025 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 on 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.
The following notifications are made in accordance with DTR 3.1.2-A, incorporating article 19(1) of the
