Director/PDMR Shareholding
22 February 2024 11:00 GMT
Transaction by Person Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities
AstraZeneca PLC (the Company) announced that, on 20 February 2024,
an award of the Company's ordinary shares of $0.25 each (Ordinary
Shares) under the AstraZeneca Investment Plan (AZIP) vested to
Pascal Soriot, Executive Director and Chief Executive
Officer.
The AZIP award was granted on 24 March 2016 and was subject to a
four-year performance period followed by a four-year holding period
before vesting. Application of the performance measures specified
at the time of grant resulted in 50% of the AZIP award entering the
holding period.
Following the reinvestment of dividends accrued during the
performance and holding periods and the withholding of shares to
satisfy certain tax obligations arising on vesting, Mr Soriot
acquired Ordinary Shares as detailed in the table
below:
