No. 1 Regulatory News Service Announcement, dated 22 September 2021
re: Director/PDMR Shareholding
 
 
 
 
22 September 2021
 
LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC ('GROUP') - NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ('PDMRs') IN ORDINARY SHARES OF THE GROUP OF 10 PENCE EACH ('SHARES')
 
 
This announcement should be read in conjunction with the Summary Remuneration Announcement and disclosures in the 2020 Annual Report and Accounts published on 24 February 2021. The 2020 Annual Report and Accounts is available on the 'Financial downloads' page in the 'Investors' section of the Group's website www.lloydsbankinggroup.com. This announcement should also be read in conjunction with the announcement of Mr Nunn's appointment made on 30 November 2020.
 
BUY OUT AWARD FOR GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Charlie Nunn joined the Group on 16 August 2021. As previously announced, it was agreed that Mr Nunn would on appointment be granted deferred cash and deferred share awards to replace, like for like, unvested HSBC awards that have been forfeited as a result of him joining the Group. The awards to be granted match the vesting and retention periods applying to the awards being forfeited.
 
In addition, it was announced that Mr. Nunn would be granted a 'lost opportunity' bonus award for the loss of his bonus award from HSBC for the 2020 performance year. The value of this award was to be calculated by reference to Mr Nunn's 2019 bonus, adjusted downwards to reflect HSBC's total group bonus pool as disclosed in their 2020 Annual Report and Accounts and a further 20% pre-agreed discount.  The value of the 'lost opportunity' bonus award is £1,316,564.
 
These awards have now been granted.  A gross cash award has been made of £369,703 and deferred Share awards have been made under the Lloyds Banking Group Deferred Bonus Plan over 8,301,708 Shares. 
 
Mr Nunn has voluntarily opted to take the deferred cash amounts totalling £1,430,717 that he forfeited from HSBC in Shares. This equates to 3,076,112 Shares which are included within the overall number of Shares awarded.  The number of Shares was calculated using the five-day average mid-market closing prices of Mr Nunn's previous employer and the Group up to Mr Nunn's starting date on 16 August 2021.
 
The awards are subject to the vesting schedules and retention periods that match the vesting schedule and retention periods of the awards forfeited. As a result, the awards will vest in tranches on various vesting dates from September 2021 until March 2028. The awards were granted in accordance with the regulatory requirements for buy-outs to which the Group is subject, as detailed in the PRA Rulebook and corresponding FCA requirements.
 
As a number of the awards would have already vested at the time Mr Nunn joined on 16 August 2021 they have immediately vested on grant. In this respect, the Group announces that after settlement of income tax & national insurance 454,168 Shares were released to Mr Nunn of which 297,772 continue to be subject to a retention period of 12 months.
 
 
FIXED SHARE AWARDS
This announcement also details the number of Shares acquired by PDMRs in respect of the third quarter of 2021 under the Group's Fixed Share Award. In this respect, the PDMRs listed in the table below acquired on 22 September 2021, after the settlement of income tax and national insurance contributions, the number of Shares as set out by their name. The acquisition price was 43.34 pence per Share.
 
The Shares will be held on behalf of the PDMRs and will be released over a three year period, with one-third being released each year on 22 September.
