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.
