SSE plc (the "Company") - Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities and their Closely Associated Persons

(i)  Deferred Bonus Scheme (DBS) - Grant of Awards


The Directors/PDMRs listed in the table that follows each received awards over Ordinary shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under the DBS.  The number of shares under each award has been calculated by reference to a price of £17.57 per share, being the average of the Company's share price over the three dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant.


Awards granted under the DBS represent a deferral of a proportion of the cash bonus earned for the 2021/22 annual incentive year which is converted into shares.  The shares will vest after a period of three years from the date of grant subject normally to the participant remaining in employment with the Company.  On vesting, the participant will become entitled to additional shares representing the value of reinvested dividends over the three-year period. 

 

Awards granted to Executive Directors will be subject to an additional post-vesting holding period during which time the Executive Director must retain the post-tax number of shares vesting under award.

(ii)  Performance Share Plan (PSP) - Grant of Awards

 

The Executive Directors listed in the table that follows were each granted awards over Ordinary shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under the PSP.  The number of shares stated is the maximum which will become available to each Executive Director if the performance targets applicable to the award are achieved at their upper limit or above.  On vesting, the Executive Director will become entitled to additional shares representing the value of reinvested dividends over the performance period.  The number of shares under each award has been calculated by reference to a price of £17.57 per share, being the average of the Company's share price over the three dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant.

 

Vesting of these awards will normally only take place if performance conditions are satisfied over the three-year performance period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025.  These performance conditions are those indicated in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Policy (as set out in the 2022 Annual Report). 

 

Awards granted to Executive Directors will be subject to an additional post-vesting holding period during which time the Executive Director must retain the post-tax number of shares vesting under award.

(iii)  Leadership Share Plan (LSP) - Grant of Awards

 

The PDMRs in the table that follows were each granted awards over Ordinary shares of 50 pence each fully paid in the Company under the LSP.  The number of shares stated is the number which will become available if the performance targets applicable to the awards are achieved, although the number could be increased or reduced by the Company performance adjuster described below.  On vesting, the PDMRs will become entitled to additional shares representing the value of reinvested dividends over the performance period.

 

The number of shares under the award has been calculated by reference to a price of £17.57 per share, being the average of the Company's share price over the three dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant. 

 

Vesting of the award will normally only take place if the performance conditions are achieved over the three-year performance period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025.  In addition, an overall Company performance adjuster, allowing vesting rates to be adjusted up or down by up to 25% at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, may be applied if overall performance of the Company over the performance period merits such an upward or downward adjustment.
