A sale of shares to cover tax liabilities was also completed on the same day. Details of the transactions are as follows: Name Status Number of shares transferred Number of shares sold Net number of shares acquired James Jesic Director 13,846 6,531 7,315 Helen Miles Director 23,829 11,240 12,589 Shane Anderson PDMR 11,914 5,620 6,294 Paul Baxter PDMR 2,126 1,003 1,123 Judith Burditt PDMR 6,729 3,174 3,555 Stephanie Cawley PDMR 4,633 2,186 2,447 Didar Dhillon PDMR 5,919 2,792 3,127 Neil Morrison PDMR 12,180 5,745 6,435 Robert Stear PDMR 5,957 2,810 3,147 \*Where an Executive Director shareholding requirement applies, shares will be transferred to the Trustee for safekeeping. The 2023 LTIP award made under the 2021 Remuneration Policy included a stretch element, which was contingent on achieving upper quartile ("UQ") RoRE performance among the 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 over the performance period achieved UQ performance, resulting in the RoRE element of the award vesting in full. When combined with the outturn on the sustainability element of the award, the overall vesting outcome of the 2023 LTIP was 90% of maximum for all participants. The notifications below, which have been made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation, provide further detail.
