Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them
19 March 2026
Capita awarded its 2026 restricted share awards (“2026 RSAs”) under the Capita Plc Executive Plan 2021 on 18 March 2026 as set out in tables below.
The 2026 RSA granted to Adolfo Hernandez, Chief Executive Officer and Pablo Andres, Chief Financial Officer will normally vest after three years from date of grant subject to: (i) continued employment; (ii) satisfactory personal performance; and (iii) any scaling back (including to nil vesting) on account of the underpins not being met.
The underpin conditions attached to the 2026 RSAs include Capita’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three years ending 31 December 2028 to be positive and the Remuneration Committee being satisfied with the underlying performance of Capita over the vesting period, that vesting values would not be windfall gains and that there have been no environmental, social or governance issues resulting in material reputational damage. Further details in respect of the underpins will be set out in the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the year ending 31 December 2026.
