Buyout awards for Chirantan Barua and Ron van Kemenade

Chirantan Barua and Ron van Kemenade joined the Group in Q2 2023. It was agreed that on appointment they would be granted deferred cash and deferred share awards to replace unvested awards from their previous employers that have been forfeited as a result of them joining the Group. The awards granted match the vesting and retention periods applying to the awards being forfeited.

As a number of Ron's awards would have already vested at the time he joined they have immediately vested on grant. In this respect, the Group announces that, after settlement of income tax and national insurance, 28,141 Shares were released to Ron which be subject to a retention period until May 2027.

The awards were granted in accordance with the regulatory requirements for buyouts to which the Group is subject, as detailed in the PRA Rulebook and corresponding FCA requirements.

In addition, Chirantan was granted a 'lost opportunity' bonus award for the loss of his bonus award from HSBC for the 2022 performance year. The award will mirror the Group deferral schedule and after settlement of income tax and national insurance, 204,234 Shares for the March 2023 element were released to Chirantan on 21 June 2023, subject to a retention period until March 2024.
