Director/PDMR Shareholding

 

Genus plc (LSE: GNS) announces that, further to the vesting on 15 September 2024 of conditional nil-cost options granted in 2021 under the Genus 2019 Performance Share Plan (the 'PSP'), as listed in table A below; and conditional nil-cost options granted in 2021 under the Genus Deferred Share Bonus Plan (the 'DSBP') as listed in table B below, members of the Genus Executive Leadership Team ('GELT') sold ordinary shares in Genus on 16 September 2024 on the London Stock Exchange, to offset income tax and social security liabilities due on the exercises and retained the balance of ordinary shares.

 

Conditional nil-cost options granted under the PSP were subject to relevant performance conditions, measured over a three-year performance period which commenced on 1 July 2021 and ended on 30 June 2024. Following assessment of the performance conditions, the Remuneration Committee determined that  the awards would vest at 50% of the original grant and the balance of awards have lapsed.

 

Genus also announces that, further to the vesting on 15 September 2024 of conditional share awards granted in 2021 and 2022 under the PSP, as listed in table C below, Matt Culbertson, a member of GELT sold ordinary shares in Genus on 16 September 2024 on the London Stock Exchange, to offset income tax and social security liabilities due on the releases and retained the balance of ordinary shares. Conditional share awards were granted to Matt Culbertson under the PSP prior to him becoming a member of GELT.  These conditional share awards were not subject to company performance conditions.

 

The below notifications, made in accordance with Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, give further detail on the number of nil-cost options exercised, conditional share awards released, and ordinary shares sold on 16 September 2024.
