Conditional Share Awards
 
On 1 March 2018, the Company granted awards to the Executive Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs) listed below. The awards have been granted in accordance with the rules of the GlaxoSmithKline 2017 Deferred Annual Bonus Plan (DABP) which was approved by shareholders on 4 May 2017.
 
Executive Directors are required to defer 50% of any bonus earned into Ordinary Shares or ADSs for a period of three years. Other participants are required to defer 25% of any bonus earned into Ordinary Shares or ADSs for the same period. 
 
With effect from 2018, DABP Matching Awards are no longer granted.   
 
The awards of deferred shares (Deferred Bonus Awards) have been granted as conditional awards over ADSs for US participants and as nil-cost options over Ordinary Shares for all other participants.
 
The numbers of shares shown below are exclusive of dividend reinvestment that will accrue during the deferral period.
