Notification of
Transactions of Directors and
Persons Discharging Managerial
Responsibility
Vesting of awards made under GlaxoSmithKline's share plans in 2006
This notification, prepared in accordance
with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4R(1)(a), sets out the vesting of share awards
made in 2006, under the GlaxoSmithKline Performance Share
Plan.
The three-year performance period for the
GlaxoSmithKline Performance Share Plan (PSP) awards made in 2006, which commenced
on 1 January 2006, came to an end on 31 December 2008.
The Remuneration Committee of the Board of
GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) considered the performance achieved in respect of the PSP awards
and determined that:
the PSP awards granted in 2006 to Executive Directors and Corporate Executive Team (CET) members, were dependent on Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance. These awards lapsed in full because the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance was below the median of the comparator group;
the PSP awards granted in 2006 to other senior executives, including individuals who have since been appointed an Executive Director or CET member, were dependent in part on TSR performance and in part on EPS performance. Half of these awards lapsed as GSK's TSR performance was below the median of the comparator group and half of these awards vested as GSK's EPS performance exceeded the target level for full vesting.
The following PSP awards, made in 2006, to the then Executive Directors and CET members, who are all persons discharging managerial responsibility (PDMRs), have not vested and have therefore lapsed.
