*The number of shares released includes additional shares calculated to reflect dividends declared during the period from grant until vesting, in accordance with the LTIP rules.

 

The 2022 LTIP award made under the 2021 Remuneration Policy included a stretch award comparative element to Return on Regulatory Equity ('RoRE'), measured by Upper Quartile ('UQ') comparison against other Water and Sewerage Companies ('WaSCs'). As all WaSCs have now published their Annual Performance Reports, it has been determined that Severn Trent's three-year average RoRE during the performance period was UQ, meaning awards vested in full at 100%.

 

The Company wishes to announce in accordance with DTR 3.1 and Article 19 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation the following notifications by persons discharging managerial responsibility.
